Cards Against Humanity creator pledges to purchase & publish congress' browser history (Original Post) ehrnst Mar 2017 OP
These idiots. Did they really think this couldn't come back to bite them in the ass? JTFrog Mar 2017 #1
If it's in a database, it can be hacked and stolen. DetlefK Mar 2017 #2
True. Especially when hackers get help from the Republicans. nt JTFrog Mar 2017 #3

They sold their votes for paltry sums of money. Someone said yesterday that those with the data would have to be willing to sell it to whoever wanted it. When the big money comes knocking at the door, those with the data will sell it to the highest bidder. No doubt about it.

This will come back to bite them squarely in their asses.

Maybe when they realize that, someone will pull the plug on this.

It's just a question of time until something like that happens.

They just need to be shown how it damages them.

If this isn't immediately rectified then you're gonna need to be a ghost who died in the 90s to get hired anywhere.

I've heard some ISPs are against the repeal as well (but that may just be publicly). I'd advise them to publish congress' histories immediately so we can rectify this debacle. No time for measured responses. Not in Trump's America.
