Democratic Senators are pushing President Trump to reject legislation that repeals the Obama-era FCC's privacy rules. 46 Democrats sent a letter to Trump to veto the bill. The Democrats warned that getting rid of the Obama-era rules would negatively impact privacy. The senators wrote that the legislation will undermine the privacy protections of the majority of Americans who believe their private information should remain private. The FCC rules would've given consumers more control over their data. Choices about subscriber's data should be in their hands and not the hands of internet service providers or third parties. Reversing these landmark privacy protections would go against the pro-consumer Administration. Consumers have the right to make their own decisions about access, use, and sale of their personal internet data by their broadband provider.

This relates to our class because the Democrats wanted Trump to veto the bill. A veto is when the President rejects a decision made by a law making body. American citizens also have the right to privacy, which falls under the 14th amendment.

I think we have the right to our private internet info and that it should remain our private info. Internet service providers shouldn't have access to all our personal data.
