Re: trying to understand

It's not hacking if you agree to it- and I'm sure the companies doing this (and probably a lot of those who don't, just in case) have appropriate clauses in the TOS agreement.

why isnt this type of practice and technology not considered hacking. I would think that any manipulation of internet traffic to change what I expect to see on a webpage would be the same as phishing. How can an ISP change a web page to say something that is not on the originating server. Sooner or later some company is going to start paying ISP's to change negative comments about its services on some review site. Imagine comcast changing a consumer reports web page to show results that favor a particular company but in the printed magazine the results are different.
