Obviously there is significant disagreement on that issue.

Yes, because the left is happy for government agencies run by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats to continually enlarge their regulatory domain. Other people consider that a bad idea in general.

And if that had happened, FCC regulations would control our privacy--after they would have taken effect, over a year from now--regulations which are not law and can be changed by unelected FCC bureaucrats who are unaccountable to the people.

I'm no fan of Congress, but it's definitely better for this to be controlled by federal law rather than an agency regulation.
