|  What Privacy!
 Anyone that thinks that there is any form of privacy on the Internet is misinformed. The Internet is the worlds largest party line. Ones activities on the Internet can be monitored at many levels. Unless one encrypts their E-Mails forget privacy. ISP's can record all of a subscribers activities on the Internet. Websites regularly track their viewers through cookies. NebuAD is just a more diabolical level of snooping on a subscribers activities. Until the our current corporatist government is replaced with one interested in it's citizens rights one would not expect to see our legislature pass laws protecting privacy on the Internet. |

| There is no difference in what the possible capabilities are. Any type of snooping/monitoring/etc are possible with POTS or internet traffic. And I don't think anyone is claiming that you do have absolute privacy anyways.
The point here is that an ISP would not only be snooping in things that they don't have a legitimate need to snoop on, and even more importantly, actively mining the snooped data traffic to profit from it. |
