Internet users are fighting back after Congress voted to block Obama-administration internet privacy protections.
Two fundraising campaigns have so far raised more than $215,000 to purchase and reveal lawmakers’ browsing histories.
Actor Misha Collins, the star of television show “Supernatural”, has raised more than $63,000 on his GoFundMe page. More than 3,000 people have donated to the page, which has a goal of $500 million.
Thanks, Congress, for voting to put all of our private data up for sale! We can’t wait to buy yours. https://t.co/t8pq3p470f

“Great news! The House just voted to pass SJR34. We will finally be able to buy the browser history of all the Congresspeople who voted to sell our data and privacy without our consent!” he wrote on the fundraising page.
Another activist from Tennessee has raised more than $152,000 from more than 9,800 people.
A bill on its way to President Trump’s desk would allow internet service providers (ISPs) to sell users’ data and Web browsing history. It has not taken effect, which means there is no growing history data yet to purchase.
A Post reporter also wrote it would be possible to buy the data “in theory, but probably not in reality.”
A former enforcement bureau chief at the Federal Communications Commission told the newspaper that most internet service providers would cover up this information, under their privacy policies. If they did sell any individual’s personal data in violation of those policies, a state attorney general could take the ISPs to court.
They gonna spend all that money just to figure out they been watching porn all this time.
Either that or Satanic rituals…or pedophilia rackets, which I am sure most in Congress and the Senate belong to. One of these days, the criminal psychos will realize just how much they screwed up–that is, just how much they have screwed themselves. Believe me, I’d rather go to jail and repent than spend eternity getting roasted by Satan.
LOL… beat me to it.
