- Spooky23 11y agoThere's no reason the ISP couldn't intercept encrypted traffic or related metadata. They just can't read it. Since wireless ISPs have been collecting and indefinitely retaining messaging data for many years, it's not beyond any reasonable expectation that wireline ISPs aren't retaining various things.

I'm sure a similar analysis can be done with IP headers.
