Today, Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., is poised to introduce a Congressional Review Act resolution to overturn the Federal Communications Commission’s December 2017 Restoring Internet Freedom Order. The resolution, if it ever were adopted by a majority vote in both the Senate and the House and signed by President Trump, would have the perverse effect — among others — of diminishing privacy protection for consumers of Internet.

The Restoring Internet Freedom Order largely repealed the Obama Administration FCC’s February 2015 order that, under the superficially appealing guise of “net neutrality,” imposed heavy-handed public utility-style regulation on Internet service providers.
