The rules that apply to Internet Service Providers (ISP) and companies like Facebook and Google regarding data collection were never 'lopsided.'

Social media platforms and browser utilities don't charge money for their services. They make money by collecting your personal metrics and selling targeted advertising. They have stated privacy policies that allow users to opt out.

ISPs charge for their services. If we already pay for internet access through ATT, Verizon, Comcast or whoever, it's not 'leveling the playing field' to ALSO permit the companies to help themselves to our personal information. 

In addition, the repeal of the FCC privacy rule allows ISPs to collect and sell that information without even telling us. Even private browsing and VPNs won't help internet users avoid ISP tracking. 

I'm disappointed in our entire Congressional delegation. They seemed to neither understand the implications of the repeal, nor to care how it affects their constituents.
