And, if recent history is any judge, it\u2019s doomed to failure.<\/p>\n<p>Rewind back to March 2017: Congress voted to <a href=\"https:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/xy7xnk\/republicans-are-about-to-nuke-the-fccs-broadband-privacy-rules\" target=\"_blank\">overturn<\/a> a yet-to-take-effect Obama-era FCC regulation requiring ISPs to get permission from customers before collecting their data and selling it to advertisers. It was a victory for corporate giants like Comcast and Verizon, who nevertheless assured everyone that they had no intention of selling their customers\u2019 internet histories.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of that repeal, about half of the country\u2019s states chose not to take the ISPs at their word, and began crafting their own legislation to restore the FCC\u2019s rules within their borders. Washington, DC is the latest example, and the National Conference of State Legislatures shows <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncsl.org\/research\/telecommunications-and-information-technology\/privacy-legislation-related-to-internet-service-providers-2018.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">close to 70<\/a> similar bills on state dockets this year. So far, not a single one has passed.<\/p>\n<p>The reason, according to online-privacy experts, is the lobbying muscle of the telecom and internet industries. \u201cCompanies have a lot more resources to send in lobbyists to argue against these bills,\u201d said Natasha Duarte, policy analyst at the Center for Democracy and Technology. \u201cEspecially when were talking about state legislatures, things move really quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Only two states, Nevada and Minnesota, currently enforce privacy requirements on ISPs, according to Eric Null, policy counsel at the Open Technology Institute. But, Null says, those regulations actually predate Congress\u2019s repeal of the FCC rule (in the aftermath of that repeal, Nevada also passed a bill to enhance the state\u2019s existing privacy protections).<\/p>\n<p>To see how a privacy bill can falter, look at California. Last year, the state\u2019s landmark privacy bill, AB 375, stalled out due to pressure from telecom and Silicon Valley lobbyists. The Electronic Frontier Foundation called it \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eff.org\/deeplinks\/2017\/10\/how-silicon-valleys-dirty-tricks-helped-stall-broadband-privacy-california\" target=\"_blank\">a massive misinformation campaign<\/a>,\u201d complete with ominous advertisements showing a child staring at a computer screen, with text claiming that AB 375 would make people more vulnerable to pop-ups, hackers, and cyber attacks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey made these vague arguments about why it would be bad for consumers and business,\u201d said Duarte. \u201cThey brought a lot of lobbying power to stop it from getting a vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last June, AB 375 resurfaced, this time heavily amended and <a href=\"https:\/\/motherboard.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/8xezab\/california-rushes-through-a-new-privacy-law-after-heavy-lobbyist-input\" target=\"_blank\">rushed through to passage<\/a> with plenty of input from lobbyists. Duarte said that compared to the original, the new version had been \u201cgutted,\u201d and they were \u201ctwo completely different pieces of legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In April, Oregon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregonlive.com\/silicon-forest\/index.ssf\/2018\/04\/gov_kate_brown_signs_oregons_n.html\" target=\"_blank\">passed<\/a> a major net-neutrality bill\u2013an achievement in and of itself\u2013but only after pro-privacy portions in earlier versions were amended out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNet neutrality is slightly easier because it\u2019s become a cause c\u00e9l\u00e8bre, it\u2019s very popular,\u201d said Katharine Trendacosta, policy analyst at EFF. \u201cThe thing you run into with ISP privacy is all the companies are on the same side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She explained that while Google and AT&amp;T might be on different sides of an issue like net neutrality, ISP privacy laws create a formidable alliance between tech companies and telecom corporations: \u201cEvery internet company is on the same side in privacy bills. They don\u2019t want them. It\u2019ll hurt their bottom line.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With controversies like Facebook\u2019s Cambridge Analytica scandal piling on the public\u2019s consciousness, Trendacosta said she\u2019s seeing a general uprising in the realm of internet privacy. But it\u2019s especially important for potential legislation to focus on regulating what data ISPs collect and sell, not just Facebook. A social-media site only collects what information you give it, she said, while ISPs are one\u2019s primary method for accessing the internet, and thus, could essentially collect anything.<\/p>\n<p>Also, unlike social media, consumers rarely have a choice when it comes to their internet-service provider.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe vast majority of people only have one option for their internet provider in their area,\u201d said Trendacosta. \u201cIf you don\u2019t have a choice, it doesn&#8217;t matter if they have bad privacy policies\u2013you\u2019re gonna have to go with them. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to have legislation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE <a
