Look, I don't like the idea of my data being sold, but I don't pay anything to use Google. They provide me with a free service that makes my life better. I don't have any concept of ownership over my browser history. It is merely the byproduct of my use of a free service.

I also read my Internet service contract with Cox. Nowhere does it talk about data privacy or the idea that I am creating some sort of property right in my history.

You should go do some research on what an ISP is.

this argument against this move would make me care more if it didn't just change things back to the way things worked before 2015

life went on and nobody gave a shite before the FCC took over control of this area

This ^^^

If you are so interested in hiding your porn addiction then or your spying activities, then resort to more controllable means - buy the used cardboard flip card 'moving picture' naked lady dances from some guy out of the trunk of his car or write your spy reports with lemon juice on toilet paper and leave it in a film cassette under a park bench. Make the feds work to find you.

In the meantime, enjoy the free crap that is given you for your entertainment - and use it like you do your liquor - be reasonable in and responsible.

Well there was no point in including a clause like that when the law was clear.

Second since when have I needed to say anything about a property right in something that is mine?

But this isn't about Google. The isps are jealous of the money google, facebook, yahoo, etc. are making and this is their way of getting a cut of the "free" money without lifting a finger.
