Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer is calling on the House to vote against a bill that would reverse internet privacy regulations enacted by the Federal Communication Commission.
The FCC's rules prevent internet service providers from selling customers' sensitive information without their consent.
Telecomm companies criticized the FCC for overreaching and weakening their business efforts.
But supporters of the regulations like Schumer say broadband providers need to be stopped from freely using people's data.
"A family's personal information shouldn't go to the highest bidder and an internet connection shouldn't come with a welcome mat for companies to walk all over without your knowledge," Schumer said. "This vote to dismantle and kill these protections that were put in place by the FCC is a real danger to consumers who for years now have been on the losing end of all these privacy battles."
The Senate passed the bill last week.
If it passes, no future FCC can enact future broadband privacy rules without amending federal law.
