Under President Donald Trump,Watch Climax Online it seems like every department in the executive branch is racing to see who can undo regulations the fastest. And at the FCC? That means negotiating with cable companies about your data.

Newly-installed Federal Communications Commission chairman Ajit Pai is working on stopping privacy rules from the it-feels-like-oh-so-long-ago Obama era, which require internet providers to get your explicit permission before selling or sharing your information, Business Insider reported.

The rules were approved in October, and went into partial effect in January. But lucky for the Trump FCC, a provision requiring internet providers to "engage in reasonable data security practices" doesn't take effect until March 2.

Pai, who was an FCC commissioner before he was appointed chairman of the FCC by Trump, is trying to get a vote scheduled to stop that last rule from taking effect. An FCC spokesman told Business Insider that a bureau of the FCC will block the provision if the commission won't vote on this one issue by the March 2 deadline. Then, the question will have to wait for a vote covering other topics, too.

The new FCC has had a busy few weeks. The commission committed another $2 billion this week to expanding internet access in rural America —a project that survived the administration transition.

On net neutrality—the idea that all internet traffic should be treated equally no matter the source or the user—the FCC indicated this month that it might just not enforce Obama-era rules at all. Ending net neutrality programs must free up time to gut privacy regulations.

So next week, maybe Comcast will be able to keep selling your data without asking you first? Stay tuned.
