The United States Transhumanist Party<\/a> and Nevada Transhumanist Party<\/a> support H.R. 1868, the Restoring American Privacy Act of 2017, proposed by Rep. Jacky Rosen of Henderson, Nevada.<\/span><\/p>\n

This bill, if enacted into law, would undo the power recently granted by S.J. Res. 34 for regional-monopoly Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to sell individuals\u2019 private data \u2013 including browsing histories \u2013 without those individuals\u2019 consent. For more details, read Caleb Chen\u2019s article on Privacy News Online, \u201cCongresswoman Rosen introduces Restoring American Privacy Act of 2017 to reverse S.J. Res. 34<\/a>\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Section I of the U.S. Transhumanist Party Platform<\/a> states, \u201cThe United States Transhumanist Party strongly supports individual privacy and liberty over how to apply technology to one\u2019s personal life. The United States Transhumanist Party holds that each individual should remain completely sovereign in the choice to disclose or not disclose personal activities, preferences, and beliefs within the public sphere. As such, the United States Transhumanist Party opposes all forms of mass surveillance and any intrusion by governmental or private institutions upon non-coercive activities that an individual has chosen to retain within his, her, or its private sphere. However, the United States Transhumanist Party also recognizes that no individuals should be protected from peaceful criticism of any matters that those individuals have chosen to disclose within the sphere of public knowledge and discourse<\/em>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Neither governmental nor private institutions \u2013 especially private institutions with coercive monopoly powers granted to them by laws barring or limiting competition \u2013 should be permitted to deprive individuals of the choice over whether or not to disclose their personal information.<\/span><\/p>\n

Individuals\u2019 ownership over their own data and sovereignty over whether or not to disclose any browsing history or other history of online visitation to external entities are essential components of privacy, and we applaud Representative Rosen for her efforts to restore these concepts within United States federal law.<\/span><\/p>\n
