Senate Moves to Dismantle Internet Privacy Protections
------------------------------------------------------

The Senate narrowly voted Thursday to dismantle internet privacy
protections established under the Obama administration. The measures
were pushed by Republican lawmakers, and the vote largely split across
party lines. The bill, which now heads to the House, will give companies
like Verizon, Comcast and AT&T more power to collect people's data,
including their internet browsing history, and to sell this information.
