...how the trolls and alt-right-assholes on 4chan might have helped Trump by bullying the other republican candidates, sendig out false accusations against Democrats and generally spilling memes to confuse everybody. The trolls and criminals (for example that asshole that recently killed a child an paraded his bloody hands) at 4chan (and worse: 8chan!) are surely very happy to have more freedom to abuse the internet for their hateful and destructive activities.

People will pay to not be spied upon. There will be paradigm shifts.

If the GOP wants to put your internet history out there, then make it information they wouldn't want anyone to see.
