A few days ago I wrote about the Republican bill to disable the privacy protections passed by the FCC during the end of the Obama presidency.

At that time the Senate and House had voted to disable these privacy protections, now President Trump has signed SJ 34 so it is now law.

The partisan nature of this is pretty obvious. A YEA vote is for disabling privacy regulations. A NAY vote is to keep the FCC privacy regulation.

In the Senate, the final vote was 50-48 with 50 Republicans voting YEA (2 Republicans did not vote) and all 46 Democrats and both Independents voting NAY.

In the House the situation was a bit more nuanced with a final vote of 215-205. No Democrats voted for the bill (190 NAY, 3 not voting). All 215 YEA votes came from Republicans. In addition 15 Republicans voted NAY and 6 did not vote
