Security Pros Give Their Opinions on ISP Data Privacy Rollback

Threat to World Economy

"The repeal of the rule on privacy of customers of broadband services is a major loss of both the privacy and security of U.S. citizens and customers of internet service providers. This is only increasing the profit of ISPs, at the cost and sacrifice of privacy and security of citizens without transparency and consent. When cybersecurity is a major threat to the world economies, businesses and consumers, which was a major discussion point during the World Economic Forum, and with some countries especially in the EU taking citizens’ personal data very seriously, in 2018 a major regulation known as GDPR is being imposed to put data protection back in the hands of the citizen to counteract cybercrime and excessive collection of data."
