ACLU Comment on Congressional Move to Allow ISPs to Sell Consumer Data
- jrnichols 10y agoHow exactly is my ISP going to sell my browsing data anyway? How would they collect it? Wouldn't something as simple as OpenDNS/etc thwart much of those efforts? How would they even determine what is useful data and sort it out from all of the junk? How is this better or worse than all of the data that Google and Facebook have been collecting on users for years now?
- itchyjunk 10y agoDon't ISP's enjoy some privilege for being a carrier? Aren't they not one of they start doing all this? Also, most people won't bother with <insert simple solution here> so ISPs aren't too worried about it probably.
- itchyjunk 10y agoSome is really disconnected. It's either people who think privacy on the Internet or off matters or the politicians who think otherwise. Or maybe it's the lobbying that makes them turn a blind eye. If this somehow backfires and their personal surf history gets leaked, I wonder if they'll sit back and accept it as casualty of business or retaliate against the same ISPs.
