Most end users (at least in the US) don't have a choice as many jurisdictions have sold a franchise (monopoly) to one provider. Either they sign or they don't get internet. Perhaps 5G will broaden the number of providers end users can choose from, and not be forced into this kind of contract. But why do you think any ISP would agree to not collect this information? pj capelli pjcapelli@pm.me No one can build you the bridge on which you, and only you, must cross the river of life - Nietzsche Sent with ProtonMail secure email. ------- Original Message ------- On Thursday, March 24th, 2022 at 1:11 PM, Christian David <christian@cdavid.eti.br> wrote:
I think that if the end user at signed contract agreed with this data
collecting and also if there's a mechanism that the same user could deny
the data collection, its look fine to me, there's compliant here in
Brazil with LGPD (our variant from GDPR) and i think that users could
see it as a "plus" cause the majority of ISPs don't have a service that

That's called informed consent. And Facebook and Twitter use TLS to
protect the data in transit.
Consumers do not care enough about their privacy to the point where
they are providing the information willingly.
That's the point. The customer is providing information willingly when
they post to social media. The ISP is collecting data without consent.
