Colfax, CA | Just wrong. This should be as illegal as wiring tapping, in the US (idk if the article is talking about American ISsP, I don't recognize any listed ISPs). What you do on the internet should be extremely private! Just like your phone calls, even this right is beginning to be thrown out the window in the United states. Just because it's a newer technology with monitoring capabilities does NOT mean your privacy is voided. NO ONE SHOULD EVER MONITOR WHAT YOU DO ON THE INTERNET! The U.S. constitution is there for a reason. If you are to be caught doing something illegal it should proven through a real world encounter, not what some box caching 1s and 0s. |

If I had a party line (telephone) I wouldn't expect "extreme privacy." The internet seems a lot like a party line when I can sniff packets and gain information from people who *freely choose not to use encryption*.
This seems tantamount to using a party line (because it was cheaper) and then complaining that my neighbors are telling my business to others.

I agree, it should be illegal for them to do this. It should be illegal for them to do anything with our packets, but pass them along to the next router that does the same.
And you can't really opt out, because the moment they start to do it, you are trapped in the system. You might be able to opt out after the fact, but data has already changed hands.
You should need a court order to do this kind of invasion of privacy.
