>Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That Congress disapproves the rule submitted by the Federal Communications Commission relating to “Protecting the Privacy of Customers of Broadband and Other Telecommunications Services” (81 Fed. Reg. 87274 (December 2, 2016)), and such rule shall have no force or effect.
Which undoes [1]. From the summary on the first page:
>The rules require carriers to provide
privacy notices that clearly and
accurately inform customers; obtain opt-
in or opt-out customer approval to use
and share sensitive or non-sensitive
customer proprietary information,
respectively; take reasonable measures
to secure customer proprietary
information; provide notification to
customers, the Commission, and law
enforcement in the event of data
breaches that could result in harm; not
condition provision of service on the
surrender of privacy rights; and provide
heightened notice and obtain affirmative
consent when offering financial
incentives in exchange for the right to
use a customer’s confidential
information.
