basically goes as follows

Comcast is considering a groundbreaking change to the Internet service provider business model: it wants to give consumers discounts on Internet service in exchange for the rights to sell their browsing data.

Some ISPs, like AT&T, already do that, though they're mostly limited to small geographical areas, according to the Washington Post. Comcast's proposal, explained in a letter to the Federal Communications Commission this week, asks the agency to explicitly sanction the practice nationwide.

The proposal comes as the FCC is considering how to apply new privacy regulations to Internet service providers. It has already indicated that it won't back down on its desire to classify ISPs as utilities, regulating them with the same strict privacy and neutrality requirements that apply to telecom providers.

Comcast, though, says the FCC has no authority to prevent it from selling customer data in exchange for discounted service.

thats just a part of the article, but honestly, this deal seems really stupid to begin with. the prices should already be lowered to begin with and wanting privacy info to lower your price is just outright wrong and just suspicious. what are you thoughts on this?

I mean.... if they really want to see physics stuff and games stuff, they're more than welcome. It's not like I do anything important on my laptop.

If it's optional, then it's fine. It's only when it starts happening regardless that it's bad.

Shit, I hope they offer that to me.

They can see my facebook, espn, and big titty porn webpages. Just let me save money.
