Re: Clickstream

What about the ISP's practice of selling our clickstreams? Isn't that just as bad as using DPI for behavioral tracking?
From a privacy perspective, it's almost as bad. At least with clickstream you only get the URLs, but still.

From a network interference perspective, it's transparent, so it's not like NebuAd doing exploits in order to do cookie funny business.

Who particularly is selling these, to whom, and what do they do with them? Anyone have any hard leads?
