Only as misleading as people parroting that "ISPs can now sell your personal browsing history" after the passage of SJ Res. 34

I personally think this a fantastic and appropriate way to demonstrate the privacy issue to legislators, within the bounds of what is actually possible with the information that's out there

Perhaps Google or another major website that is actually heavily used by most people, could publish search results or whatever else it collects, specifically from Congress IPs. That would have a much greater effect than data from GovTrack.us

I don't really get how non ISPs demonstrating their ability to track and expose people's browsing history is a good argument for regulating ISPs. Also google was against the regulation probably because one of their side businesses is an ISP.
