How valid is the argument that states can't regulate interstate business? Any business that operates over state lines is immune to all local law?

Also claiming that this infringes on ISP free speech? Like Citizens United, applying ideas of personhood to cooperations is just gross.

I'm with the Chamber of Commerce in that the bill doesn't go far enough. Why should giving away our privacy be a prerequisite for doing anything online?

I agree. How could a Federal rule supersedes a state law. If FCC they want the rule that bad the feds need to make it a law. A rule that can be changed by politics is not a law.
