Heaven forbid Republicans stand by while the FCC is allowed to go and do something basic to protect consumer rights.
Rafael can go fuck himself.

For anyone who needs a reminder, his name is not Ted. We should honor his wishes and stop calling him by his preferred name.
I just don’t want to besmirch the name of a hard-working ninja turtle.
Then go with Edward.
His name is Fled Cruz, or Cancun Cruz, take your choice.
Rafael??? How did that become Ted?
Since he was born in another country, his parents had to give him a separate 'American' name in order to better assimilate after smuggling him across the border into the US.
The Zodiac Killer Cruze
Crud isn't smart enough to be the Zodiac.
It isn't the Zodiac Killer.
He is Zodiac Killer Cruze, the devourer of Astrology books. (Picture books mind you)
The Republican party cares about us and our families. They're protecting us from this obvious overreach. We, as Chinese hackers, have a right to remain anonymous and undetected. We have a right to use the information that we find and it only harms us when consumers are notified that we have their information. Stand up for your rights! Pay off a Republican today!
Ted Cruz's corporate pay-masters want to stop the FCC from updating data-breach notifications rules.
Ted doesn't actually give a shit.
Everyone seems to forget he is the cyber security expert. Well versed in the internets. https://theguardian.com/us-news/2017/sep/12/ted-cruz-twitter-account-likes-pornographic-tweet
I want Raphael Cruz to yeet himself in a canyon.
"into" a canyon. If it is just in a canyon he could be at the bottom when yeet doth occur.
I'd take either as long as he didn't leave said canyon
Yeet is a technical term. It means to throw as hard as possible.
Kobe is more about precision throwing.
Not relevant. This is about how "in a canyon" can be both from the edge and at the bottom of the canyon with very different results. "into the canyon" means from outside so it assures that the yeet takes place not from the lowest height but the highest.
Isn't it almost time for this guy to run away to Mexico and blame his family for it?
Depends. Is there a cold front coming through Texas that will freeze the pipes?
It's like they're all reading the same copy of 'how not to be a garbage human being' and doing the exact opposite of each lesson...
haulin' more water for pootie
Ffs! Ars Technica is pretty much unusable now! Not only does their cookie consent prompt reload every time you deselect what you're (apparently but not really) allowed to deselect, effectively looking you out unless you accept all cookies, check out how many fucking companies they were gonna share your data with just from the mandatory ones! 🤬 
Adblocker doesn't care about consent selections.
So you're saying that with uBlock Origin on, I can just select accept all and I still won't get any of their bullshit‽
I wish I'd known ages ago!
It's better, it doesn't accept any, it just deletes the elements that make up the UI. It's not the government's fault that Ars intentionally made their website unusable. They could just follow the intent of the law and not use cookies at all.

I didn't mean to imply that. The GDPR is a great law and they're actually breaking not just the intent but the actual text of it.
I don't remember the exact paragraph, but it says that sites are supposed to make rejecting cookies no more ardous than accepting them.
That most other sites are in violation of that part too is no excuse, especially not for being one of the worst offenders!

How do you make it do that? My screenshot was taken in Nightly with uBlock Origin on and Ars not whitelisted..
By default it's not enabled in uBlock Origin. Go to the filter list settings and enable the appropriate Annoyances filters for Cookie Notices (or just enable all the Annoyances filters)
Or just install Consent-O-Matic to automatically deselect all the cookies.
Thanks, I'll try it out. Looks promising so far!
Some rules I believe can delete even that popup.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and other Republican senators are fighting a Federal Communications Commission plan to impose new data-breach notification requirements on telecom providers.
Rosenworcel's data-breach proposal is scheduled for a vote at tomorrow's commission meeting, and it may ultimately be up to the courts to decide whether it violates the 2017 congressional resolution.
Cruz also protested a recent FCC vote to enforce rules that prohibit discrimination in access to broadband services, calling it "government-mandated affirmative action and race-based pricing."
The key legal question seems to be whether the FCC can re-implement one portion of the nullified rules as long as it doesn't bring back the entire privacy order.
Cruz and fellow Republicans say that Rosenworcel's plan would "resurrect a portion of the 2016 Broadband Privacy Order pertaining to data security."
We conclude that it would be erroneous to construe the resolution of disapproval as applying to anything other than all of the rule revisions, as a whole, adopted as part of the 2016 Privacy Order.
