President Trump has signed a bill that’ll repeal internet privacy rules passed by the FCC in 2016. Those rules would have explicitly prevented ISPs from selling customer browsing data without permission.

This is only the latest case of Trump overturning regulations passed under Obama. So far he’s reversed course in 10 different areas.
