Trump just killed Obama's internet privacy rules - here's what that means for you

Republicans have made a big decision about the future of your online data - and many people aren't happy about it.

On March 28, Congress voted along party lines to kill a set of rules passed by the Federal Communications Commission last October that would've forced your internet service provider to ask you before it collects certain personal information. In both cases, Republicans voted to repeal the rules, while Democrats voted against.

The joint resolution that enacts those changes, S.J. Res. 34, was presented by GOP senator Jeff Flake of Arizona and co-sponsored by 24 other Republicans.

President Trump quietly signed the resolution on Monday night, turning it into law.
