How is your isp spying on you not infringing on privacy?
- jraph 7y agoThey know what servers are accessed from their network by design. They don't need to spy and to give data on an individual level.
- penagwin 7y agoYeah the word "spy" might be debatable but it's certainly something like "snooping". Just because they process the data doesn't mean they need to record it. I feel like a good analogy here is the ISP is your secretary. Sure they must have access to your documents to do their job, but if they're reading through your stuff for "gossip" or snapping photos of your documents, that'd still be an invasion of privacy.
- jraph 7y agoYes but ISPs are huge and can limit logging to outbound connections. No individual recording would be done. Privacy is kept -- with a big caveat that deanonymisation of aggregated data is possible in a number of cases, of course, granted.
- jaywalk 7y agoBecause it would be totally anonymous! Trust them!
- snarf21 7y agoSorry, my response was a little short. I should have said that people like your ISP and cloud hosting are/can already spying on us. If Intel wanted this data solely for the purposes of improving drivers, they could buy it from internet connectivity companies. We don't also need them tracking everything we do.
