I think the point I'm trying to make is, yes it sucks. Yes, there should be more protections. And the reality is, there are already laws that exist for this, but in my opinion aren't really strong enough. But medical history is protected by HiPPa. Your porn addiction or Netflix viewing history is protected by the Video Privacy Act (Enacted after Robert Bork wasn't confirmed). Personal information like name, address, phone number, etc, must be secured by whoever possesses it else they are subject to fines and penalties. Anybody they release that info must also have such protections in place. Your location has to be specifically authorized on a case by case bases.
These are all protections that exist well beyond this law. THIS LAW basically makes ISPs on par with other services you utilize. This isn't ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF REPUBLICANS SCREWING AMERICANS like Dan would have you believe, nor is it a revelation of the earth falling. Most already believed this info was collectible and saleable by ISPs since it is for pretty much everyone else.
"In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." T Durden
