Bill > LD1284

This bill proposes to repeal Chapter 94 of Title 35-A of the Maine Revised Statutes, which previously established privacy protections for broadband internet customers. Specifically, the bill would eliminate existing regulations that required internet service providers to safeguard customer personal information and obtain explicit consent before using, selling, disclosing, or allowing access to that personal data. By repealing these provisions, the bill would effectively remove legal restrictions on how broadband providers can handle and share their customers' personal information, potentially allowing these providers more flexibility in using customer data for various purposes such as marketing or selling to third parties. The proposed repeal could have significant implications for consumer privacy, potentially reducing the level of protection customers have against unauthorized use of their personal information by internet service providers.
