[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 2748693, member: 18225"] I guess I wouldn't care so much if I wasn't PAYING my ISP for the service I am currently using to reply to my own post. So, I pay (my current ISP) for the ability to access the internet, and now, they can turn around and sell everything I search for to the open market? It's a cliche that if you're getting something for free (Face:censored:, Google), then you are the product. So, why, if I'm paying for Internet service, should I be the product? If I search for 'diabetes', will I be denied insurance coverage because my ISP sold my browser history to the 'insurers' ? If I search for 'IVF', will I be denied insurance coverage for fertility treatments? If I search for 'How to assemble a handgun', will I be visited by ATF? Big issue! Seems to me, no matter which side of the aisle you're on, this is a straight mess. Sad. [/QUOTE]
