i find it interesting that no one points out how much data AT&T and Verizon have collected ... they know the location of your phone, which cell tower you are connected to, which stores you've been in and when, who you've called, who has called you, all of which can be cross referenced ... and there is no reason to think they don't where the IP they supplied you has been, to which websites you've visited, etc ... same with Comcast for broadband ... and the GOP last year repealed what privacy was in place on this ... if you combine that with the media properties they own, they also get a pretty good picture, across android, iOS and your desktop, of what a person does ... they also have payment data, a credit profile, possibly health info, possibly data on your kids, etc,

ISPs present a tiny footprint compared to the global tech behemoths (they're regional), and they already actually are significantly regulated even with the loosening of various restrictions over the past year or so. Contrary to popular belief, ISPs can't sell your browsing history legally, whereas tech companies generally can.
