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.


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.

WTF people?!?! You fricking PAY your ISP already - this can NOT be compared to Google in any fricking way - Google offers services to you for FREE - and pay for the "FREE" with your data - ISP's are already charging you an arm and a fricking leg for their service, drown out any competition so you have no choice, and NOW want to take all of the data they have on you and sell it to the highest bidder

What in the ever loving frick is wrong with you idiots?!

My ability to access the Internet is anything but free.

Also I don't have a wide range of competing providers to choose from, which is probably part of the reason why the FCC stuck their nose in.

What utter bullshite. Plenty of people are willing to pay in order to opt out of these "free" services.
