ISPs Make a Tidy Profit Selling Your Browsing History > those "poor" broke people...

Question - how can you find out if your ISP is doing this? Any way to test for such things, or is it completely invisible to the user?

Depends on state privacy laws. If you're a California resident, you should have been notified when you opened the account and given a manner in which to opt out. If you're not a Cali resident, and, in the absence of state privacy law, yer SOL.

Clickstream data isn't personally identifiable. They can't figure out your name or your address or your DOB from what websites you browse (unless you typed it in at some point, but only a human can figure out that that is personally identifiable (remember AOL search data contraversy?)).
