  Pretty sure that has nothing to do with net neutrality. They were doing that anyway. Net neutrality and the move to "Internet everything" is an apocalyptic combination for ISPs, who are accustomed to selling overpriced cable bundles. If all your entertainment is on Netflix, they can't charge you $100/month for a TV package. With net neutrality gone, they can move that tax to Netflix instead.

    Part of the common carrier designation is that you can't sell personally identifiable information you get from users on your network. They definitely weren't doing that before. Subsequently they've sworn up and down that they're not but there's no longer a legal bar from them doing so.

      Ah gotcha. My point still partially stands, since they were free to sell anonymized and aggregated information previously.
