Dear network operators, I'm sure this is a controversial topic in the NANOG community, but EFF and a number of ISPs and networking companies are writing to Congress opposing the repeal of the FCC's broadband privacy rules, which require explicit opt-in consent before ISPs use or sell sensitive, non-anonymized data (including non-anonymized locations and browsing histories). If you or your employer would like to sign on to such a letter, please reply off-list by midday Monday with your name, and a one-sentence description of your affiliation and/or major career accomplishments.
