美網路寬頻公司誓言不會出售 顧客資訊 在爭議的規則改變後
US internet providers pledge to not sell customer data after controversial rule change

跟你打賭，不賣才有鬼 ！或者這麽說 - 我們不賣，我們衹會用來交易。
這新聞中提到的Comcast， 是美國第一大寬頻服務公司，内容是對應下面的新聞，
大數據！大數據！大數據！
國會大開個資/隱私方便之門 人民變商品
你的網路歷史 會賣給出價最高的人
：美國會表決通過廢棄網路隱私法案
Your internet history on sale to highest bidder: US Congress votes to shred ISP privacy rules
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/03/28/congress_approves_sale_of_internet_histories/ 28 Mar 2017
衆議院剛(3/28，215票對205票)通過，廢止保護隱私法案，這讓提供網路寬頻服務公司，以後有權出售你的，網路使用歷史給出價最高的人。上周參議院表決，也是同樣的廢止結果，在表決前，白宮發言人表示總統也支持者廢止法案，意即這表決將會很快的成爲法律。這意味著你的網路服務公司，不需要你同意，也不需要通知你，就可以出售，你在使用他們網路時，他們所得知的有関你的一切訊息給第三方。
像是你的姓名地址，很可能及你的年紀，還有存下的及其他個資，例如社會安全號(臺灣是身份證字號)，這是顧客訊息方面，而在使用服務上，他們知道你去過哪些網站，什麽時候去的，及頻繁度。
那些訊息，可以築建你的詳細面目：政黨及性別傾向；有無小孩；什麽時候在家；醫藥狀況；等上千不同的數據指向。衹要有公司願意付錢，就能買到這些訊息，而你不知情。
如同一位高知名度的投資人，最近發覺的，你在網上的搜索歷史，能夠影響到你的將來。在他的例子，或許他希望不曾在推特上公開批評蘋果，而得來他的網路搜索歷史，是色情女星居住首。
這用數據建構的，明確的使用者資料，對廣告商而言，價值不凡，這也解釋了，爲什麽古狗及臉書，僅是提供網路搜索，及網路佈告版，就成爲世界級的兩大公司。
感謝過去某人的努力，使銷售個資變成非法(比照現在國會大開方便之門)，我們知道，你的尊係對你的網路服務公司多重要：每戶每月值30美金，如果你的有綫電視及網路都是同一家的話，那就值美金60元/每月，因爲他們就能夠同時觀察瞭解，你看電視方面的資訊。
美國有超過一億的家庭使用網路，意味著國會(新法)，給了大有綫電視/網路公司，每年350億到700億間的大支票。
諷刺的是，才在幾個月前，這狀況是完全相反的，不能出售個資。
(在川普上臺後的政權變動，導致網路管理單位，及人事也隨之變動，造成了今日的結果。在此省略變動經過的解説，表面上看來是凑巧，我個人認爲是網路服務公司財團，背後運作的結果)
這解禁後面的新局面將是，除了以往的古狗雞臉書，這兩大公司構建了龐大的使用者個字資，並出售獲利外，你的網路服務公司也可以如此做。
臉書除了收集你的臉書資訊，也收集了你用臉書賬號登入的，其他網站所有資訊，來整合構建他們的使用者資料庫。
古狗則是藉著他的搜索引擎，Chrome導覽器，Gmail電郵，來整合使用者訊息。
(沒提古狗網盤，我認爲古狗網盤的資訊，絕對也在内，但這是違法，它能做不能說）
現在網路服務公司，也有這能力了，而且更佔優勢，因爲它不需要，像古狗或臉書，透過服務軟件來搜集，你的所有活動都經過它的綫路。
真正的大問題是：你的網路服務公司，是否能看到你網路活動的内容？能否讀你的電郵？看你的搜索結果？是否儲存你打在網頁上的字句？答案是: 有的，有時候。
如果你拜訪的，是沒有HTTPS的加密網站 (意即你與網站間的數據有加密)，那麽網路服務公司，能夠清楚看到你在幹什麽。
目前的狀況是，現今的一些大網站，都有加密；而網路服務公司，認爲花巨資來過濾收集使用者資訊划不來，但在新法開放，及眼見古狗/臉書獲利，缽盆滿滿情況下，極可能跟進。
It is a certainty that ISPs will run experiments to see if they can make money from digging into this information. Pharmaceutical companies in particular pay a lot of money for information on users looking for specific drugs, because they can potentially make thousands of dollars from getting people using their particular drug.
Again, ISPs have always been able to do this, however with this congressional vote, they don't have to fear the FTC landing them with a multi-million-dollar fine. They don't have to disclose to anyone that they are doing this. And they don't have to fret that the hands-on FCC will come after them either. It is a free-for-all with potentially billions of dollars there for the taking.What to do
So, the logical question is: what can you do about it?
Well, we'll leave aside contacting your Congressional representative to complain, because the vote's already gone through and there's not much that's going to change that reality right now. And we'll leave aside the Congressional elections in two years that could change Washington dynamics back in favor of user privacy.
What can you do today, right now, on your computer to limit what other companies can do with your data?
We have five general suggestions:
- Use Tor or a VPN
If you connect to the Tor anonymizing system, or use Tor's browser, your ISP will only know that you have connected to Tor; from there it loses the data trail. Of course the downside to this is that your browsing will be slower.
Be aware, your unencrypted traffic to websites outside the Tor network passes through a complete stranger's exit node: the person running the exit node can watch what you're doing. All you've done is move from your ISP snooping on you to an exit node admin watching you. On the other hand, you'll cycle through different exit nodes, so it's harder to be identified and tracked by websites outside the Tor network.
A virtual private network is an alternative that will work for lots of people, especially if your work has a VPN service that you can use for free. This again will cut off your ISP's ability to see what you are doing.
But – and this is a big but – do some research on your VPN provider. Do NOT use a free VPN provider because they face even stronger financial temptations to sell your information. If you use a VPN, you are effectively giving that company the same level of insight into your online life as your ISP. So pay for one, and check out their policies on what they do with the data they build on you.
In short, unless you have a work VPN service you can use, you are going to have to pay to hide your data from your ISP effectively. If you can set up a VPN server yourself, do so, or use a tool to do it for you. Be aware, some websites – such as Netflix – clamp down on VPN use, so you won't be able to use every site with one. - Use a different search engine
Google offers a wonderful service, but everything you type in its search box is logged and connected to you in as many ways as possible. It is then sold on.
So why not use a different search engine? Rather than simply type into Chrome's internet address bar, or using the search box in Firefox, why not stick a shortcut on your browser's top bar to a search engine like DuckDuckGo, which will not track you or store your information?
It is one step more than, say, using Google but it is easy to make it a habit, and you would be protecting your personal data. - Log out and/or use two browsers at the same time
You don't have to be logged into Facebook and/or Gmail all the time, you really don't. So why not log out when you're done with them?
In fact, as studies have shown repeatedly, if you can keep the distractions away – oh, look, someone 'liked' my post; there's another email from my co-worker, I wonder what it's about – then you can not only be much more effective and efficient but you also feel less overwhelmed and more at peace. Try it.
If you do insist on being logged into Facebook/Gmail all the time, why not use one browser – say, Chrome – for that and another – say, Firefox – for all your browsing? It is easy to switch between browsers on your computer, and using two will limit what third parties can see about what you are doing. Again, it's a habit thing: hard to do at first; automatic shortly after. - Use HTTPS
If the website you are visiting has HTTPS, your ISP can see you have visited it – and how long you spent there – but it cannot see beyond there, including any particular pages you may have visited or any searches or other data you typed in.
The HTTPS Everywhere browser plugin will enable that same kind of encryption to be applied to websites without the extra security. It's not perfect but it's a good way to cut down on data leakage. - Call your ISP and ask them about opting out
Seemingly an obvious thing to do, but one that hardly anyone bothers doing: call your ISP.
Tell them you are concerned about them tracking your activity and ask them for their policies. Ask them what information they have on you. Ask them what they are allowed to sell. Ask them what you are allowed to opt out of (they are obliged to tell you), and then opt out of it.
Basically, make it clear you aren't happy with them being able to sell your data. Companies are still companies: they don't want unhappy customers. If this becomes a big thing for companies, if they fear losing your business, then at the same time they develop new systems to make the most from this Congressional loosening up of data privacy rules, they will look at allowing customers to opt out.
The number of customers who complain will probably have a direct impact on how much the additional privacy would end up costing.
