But that's the case today. The FCC rules don't prohibit ISPs from selling your data now, they just force ISPs to disclose that fact to consumers, so they can make that choice. Repealing this rule will allow ISPs to do it without consumer knowledge. I guess the cost of mailing out all those privacy notices is what's killing the ISP business.
the point is you don't know they are selling your stuff. They don't have to tell you. How can you know if you don't like your service without all of the facts?
Accept in many cases, people only have 1 ISP to chose from.
What is the benefit to consumers by not requiring companies to disclose selling of private data (your entire search history)? The benefit to companies is more profits, but what is the benefit to a consumer? Benefit to politicians is more $$$ to their campaigns. Consumer? none.
if a company is only around to make a profit whats going to stop them from claiming to not sell data, collect the premium you are gonna pay for that and then sell it anyway? They;'ll get a huge profit bump from that for sure and no one will ever know.
all of those are disclosed. Surely you can see the difference between being required to disclose selling your private data and not?
why should it even be illegal for companies to lie? Customers should just assume all companies are lying and choose the one they like the best. Companies are in business to make a profit and sometimes lying is the best way to do that.
Disclosed? Where!? You sign an agreement with Publix every time you purchase something with a credit card? You authorize the purchase with a signature not sign a PUblix TOS. I've never read the TOS for free wifi so I don't know what's in there...
No doubt they are collecting your data. That's for their own use. There is a difference in them collecting it for their own use and selling it for others to use.
some of those are true concerns and something that also need to be addressed if true.
I do not know what they do with this data, and neither do you. It would not surprise me if this data was sold.
Thats nice that you have the option. Like I said before, there are big sections of the country that simply dont have that option.
You have n idea WTF you are talking about here Bob. Sorry but I can take you to many spots in rural volusia county that only have access to one shitty internet service
In one thread you are completely against spying, but this thread your totally cool with it.
Satellite internet companies will not provide to everyone . I have Hughes net . I won't sit and argue with you but the entire premise of your argument sucks . Have a nice day
thats the point they will no longer be required to notify you they are taking and selling your data
