[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1753443, member: 307555"] I believe this article says it better: [url]https://www.yahoo.com/tech/isps-now-sell-private-data-152003886.html[/url] The article says that supposedly you will be able to opt out of data collection if you contact your provider. [B]sarasharrock[/B] for those of us who have been around for a while, we have seen the steady chipping away of our privacy - and freedoms. It is like the frog in the pot of water. All is great for the frog until the water is heated to a temperature that begins to cook the frog. This is what I see happening today. What to me is so sad is how younger people don't realize what is happening or what they are missing. The internet has opened a whole new level of exploitation. People - young and old - assume a level of privacy that does not exist on the internet. This latest news ISPs selling information is just another upping of the heat of the water. :Smirk: I do not believe the president has signed the final bill yet though. Lisa [/QUOTE]
