Oh how nice of Tom Wheeler to play the good-guy now. It took a lot of public outcry for him to change his tune about Net Neutrality.

Is there anything the average user can do to protect their data/privacy from their ISP?
The article's main argument is that the ISPs are selling something that doesn't belong to them, but to the consumer. I don't like the idea of my personal information being sold, but how could you state this as fact? Shouldn't it be up to the consumer to choose to do business with a company that sells your personal info vs a company that does not?

This is like FedEx or a privatized USPS being able to open your packages and read your mail without telling you. I pay you to carry my damn packets, keep your filthy hands off my data.

Should a company you pay to mail packages/letters inspect your mail and sell the data of what mail and subscriptions you are getting?
At least consumers still have https going for them I suppose? Or maybe ISPs are now more motivated to man-in-the-middle those connections to get to the data, under the guise of security or something?
This is all the more reason we need to start encrypting all communication. All my hand built services (home bots, etc) need to start using tls for everything.
