		yeukhon on March 23, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: US Senate votes to undo FCC internet privacy rules I never say it is untouchable, but 31% is a lot. Perhaps they need to convince me their cutting will yield to better spending. But we know why the budget is cut - the head of EPA doesn't believe in EPA, Trump doesn't want EPA either. It isn't just the internet privacy, but everything else.

This is fair.
