When the telecoms wanted Congress to lift that pesky ISP consumer information protection, they argued that the regulations allowed Google to get ahead while they were left in the dust. Will educational companies lobby for the same kind of freedom?

I used to work in EdTech. One of the most common issues school admins told me face to face was how big tech corps were storing all of the students data with merely a promise to not exploit it. Its one ofnthe few great advertising opportunities that are left and companies are itching to get to it.

I thought that the ISP consumer information protection never went into effect, so there was nothing to lift.
