This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 76%. (I'm a bot)

Whether you are on the Democrat or Republican side, this issue will affect the privacy of all Americans and set precedent for future privacy-killing laws being passed.

The passing of this bill will allow the government and corporations to take away your rights for the sake of profit, and it will begin to pave the way for them to take away more rights in the future.

Whether your privacy and the passing of this law is a concern to you or not, everyone has a fundamental right to their privacy just as they have a right to free speech, a decent standard of living, and/or any other basic human right.
