Re: obvious
Yes, the contract is implied each month that you pay your bill. Unless you sign a longer length contract, you have an agreement with your ISP for the billing period.
You can object to third-party access to data all you want, but it's unfortunately a fact of life today. Almost every industry that I can think of has no problem sharing your information to third parties unless you opt out of the sharing of your information. And yes, their ability to do so is printed in their privacy statements that a vast majority of people don't read.
You can say enough is enough. Have you contacted your ISP to express your viewpoint as a paying customer? Have you contacted your elected representation to express your desires? |
