This Note argues for the FCC approach, and encourages state legislatures to pass laws affording consumers the same types of privacy protections set forth in the FCC’s Broadband Privacy Order (“Broadband Privacy Order” or “Order”). On April 3, 2017, a Congressional Review Act measure reversing the FCC Broadband Privacy Rules was signed into law. This measure also prevents the FCC from passing substantially similar broadband privacy rules in the future. While it is unlikely that FCC-style broadband privacy rules will be promulgated at the federal level in the short term, twenty-onestates have already introduced bills to revive the consumer privacy protections that were repealed by Congress and the administration.
