Re: Most "fiddling" is by end users & NOT the ISPs

Yes, it's less than 1% so far, according to the researchers. That doesn't mean it's not a problem.

If ISPs can get away with altering content on its way to or from the subscribers, it won't stop with ad injection. Eventually they'll be substituting news articles, rewriting emails, and preventing access to information.

It has to be stopped now, because once it becomes a significant source of profit, the pipe owners will apply political influence to prevent anything being done to restrain it.
