[23:46:14] <exec> 08└─Yeah, also the bill does not compromise privacy as it's aggregate data. ISP's were already allowed to sell subscriber data (and none did), this bill removes user consent. Any ISP caught selling subscriber data should be boycotted -- take your business elsewhere, exactly as the free market demands!
