DEM-NPL statement on Cramer and Hoeven’s votes to gut broadband privacy protections
(BISMARCK, ND) – Kevin Cramer voted on Tuesday to allow Internet Service Providers (ISP) to sell without permission the Internet browsing history of North Dakotans. John Hoeven voted last week to gut the protections. In response, Dem-NPL executive director Robert Haider released the following statement:
“Kevin Cramer took nearly $72,000 from ISP special interests and then voted to allow those same ISPs to sell North Dakotans’ online information to the highest bidder. We believe that North Dakotans should have the final say in how their private online information is used and shared. North Dakotans value their privacy – why don’t Kevin Cramer and John Hoeven?”
