US Senate votes to undo FCC internet privacy rules

He did, and that's what I find very inconsistent with his prior actions, so there must be something more going on; e.g. [1] says: "This undoes the 73-page publication [2] published on 2016-12-02 by the FCC, most of which took effect 2017-01-03, some parts later on 2017-03-02, both after the election and one of them after the inauguration." So this regulation did not even exist until a few months ago.

I tweeted to Rand Paul to clarify his standing on S.J.Res.34 and I hope he will. The US citizens should e-mail/call Rand and others and demand statements as this is being overshadowed by Obamacare repeal/Ryancare introduction bill.

Note that it is basically pointless to contact a Senator from a state you don't vote in.

I am aware of that. Call me idealistic, but I am hoping that he, like his father, also cares to spread the ideas of liberty more broadly and is therefore wiling to explain the principles behind his votes.
