#2It's frustrating, the internet has become such a creepy "you are the product" medium. The more of this I see, I start to feel like I don't want to be a part of it anymore.

That would be OK if my cellphone usage was "free". But it's not. I'm paying Verizon hundreds of dollars a month for me and my family.
I wonder if an MVNO would be less creepy than Verizon? Probably not, I'd bet they're even sleazier.

Keep your head out of the past. The internet is becoming the way we do everything now; it's a necessity.

The Internet is a necessity.
That doesn't make actions like these less creepy.

"Keep your head out of the past?" What a rediculous rebuttal. Parent poster is well within his or her rights to feel that way. All the evidence we've been presented with in the past few years should lead everyone to the same conclusion. You are being tracked and your data sold to the highest bidder. How is that not cause for concern? Just because it occurred in the past?

Rejecting this kind of bad practices isn't the same as rejecting internet.

#9> In fact, Turn has told EFF that they do not believe that either Do Not Track or a user deleting their cookies is a signal that the user wishes to opt out from tracking.
What the fuck, Turn? You got a different explanation for what the fuck "Do Not Track" means?
Are they for fucking real right now? I mean, I've seen my share of grade-A corporate double-speak, but this takes the goddamn cake. Holy fucking shit. Thank God I'm not a Verizon customer in any capacity (that I know of). With this kind of bullshit, I don't plan on that changing any-the-fuck-time soon.

Well, it seems that Verizon is the only one doing it. The article mentioned that AT&T ran a pilot program and decided not to do it.
So presumably any other US provider would be better than Verizon.
