National Conference of State Legislatures, Privacy Legislation Related to Internet Service Providers (Aug. 4, 2017) (full-text).
Overview[]
Several states have introduced measures in response to the repeal of federal Internet privacy protections that were approved by the Federal Communications Commission in the final days of the Obama administration.
The rules, which had not yet gone into effect, would have put tough restrictions on what internet service providers could do with consumer data collected. For example, under the FCC's rules, providers would have needed permission from customers before collecting and sharing data, including user's health and financial details, web browsing history, app usage and geolocation.
