i always found it interesting for a party that is anti-government and individual freedom, their choices often run contrary

Did it pass?

Gee, and none of them were Democrats….

All republicans. Nobody is surprised.

Vote for regressives and they shall regress.

All Republicans!? No way!!!!!!

Lots of R’s…. So much for small government and freedumz..

Look at all those Republicans.

[Private Internet Access is run by former malware development company Crossrider, now Kape Technologies](https://hackread.com/private-internet-access-pia-vpn-sold-israel-privacy-concerns/), which is headed by a revolving door of former Israeli intelligence officers as CEOs, leads, and investors.

Not a single Democrat. Interesting.

Fuck yeah PIA. Been my VPN provider for over 5 years now – great product.

All Rs

What a surprise lmao

Internet services providers already sniff every frame that moves across their networks (ie spying). They also can log every website you go to and do what ever they want with the data (ie selling it, turn it over to government). Social media sites own the rights to anything you post.

Big tech knows more about you than most people realize.

edit: feel better?

Why am I not surprised that Cancun Ted Cruz voted for this slop.

What a surprise. It’s all Republicans, who claim to care about the first, second, fourth and fifth amendments but really only care about second and fifth.

Looks like Republican is synonymous to sell out…

All are Republicans. You know, the champions of “small government”. Not one Democrat voted for this. Anyone surprised?

Every congress vote should be printed in the press

This is like ten years old. Some of these people haven’t been senators in over 6 years

I don’t see a pattern! 🙈

We got rid of Flake in AZ… But I’m sure his replacement is no better.

Is PIA mostly concerned about this because they’re based in the US? Wondering if this means people should be looking for non-US providers with the incoming administration.

John Cornyn TX – but of course, because Republican voters want less government oversight…make it make sense.

Private > government

Isn’t PIA government owned organization?

would have been much better to list these by state, not by last name.

There has been more thorough discussion on other subreddit before. People should give it a read instead of being informed by a flyer with less than 100 words.

Something-something-small government-something.

Surprise, surprise. All republican. 

Wow. What’s that? All republicans? They dont give a fuck about privacy or freedom? Whhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Crazy right?

I’m always a bit simultaneously impressed and deeply saddened that evil is so accomplished at marching in lockstep.

And after that add all those senators lost their support and were voted out and things got better?

Misleading. The real story is the FCC was overreaching to regulate something the FTC was *already* regulating and responsible for.

The reason PIA was lobbying against this is because they stood to benefit from the FCC regulating ISP’s differently than how the FTC regulates *them* (and other internet-based services).

What they didn’t want was the FTC implementing uniform privacy regulations that apply to *both* ISPs and internet-based service providers such as VPN services. “Rules for thee but not for me”.

It was cheaper to try and buy some ads than it would have been to have to meet new regulatory compliance and start informing their customers how they collect, use, store, share and sell their data (and no, I’m not talking about their claim of not keeping logs).

Naturally there’s way more to this than meets the eye and just trying to drag Republicans through the mud as selling out is just stupid.

wOW, wHAt a CoINciDeNCe tHAt THEY aLl hAVE aN R NeXT tO tHeIR nAMe…
weiRd…

Those Senators all have something in common but I can’t quite put my finger on it…

LOL Republicans. Losers. All of them.

Then I just won’t use the internet, Mr. Heller.

Back to the library, encyclopedias, and classic novels. No more brain rot, Reddit, and YouTube.

Bills will be paid through the mail via check.

I’ll buy a flip phone.

Don’t tempt me with a damn good time.

Gfy.

The party of Small Government

Anything to pad their own pockets looking at you Iowa senators

Always Republicans taking away your rights.

Corey Gardner (CO) was bought and paid for by Comcast. It was to the point where I’m surprised they didn’t force him to change his last name to Xfinity

I encourage everyone to get a VPN, preferably one that doesn’t keep logs or know any personal information about you.

Over 10 Republicans sponsored this bill

It’s from 2017

The “bill” did not pass, It stalled.

This is an ad for a Noname VPN. Just go to their website at the bottom right.

Get new material.

Hmmmm… 100% republicans, eh?? Shocker of 2025!!

Republicans are the party of shit.

We have had a subscription to PIA for almost 10 years I think. THey are consistently the best performing and most private of VPN providers.
