News flash you idiots. Most companies do this already and it's called big data. It's more lucrative to have first party data and that is all they are collecting. Oracle runs a division that partners with companies like Verizon for that information. Every page you load on mobile or web is tracked.
Epic fail. Giving away free madden today. Sounds great right? Log in, open the link, ready to claim it as soon as it goes live. Click the button and BAM! Crash... Vz getting flamed like mad on Twitter. Another outstanding job.
The company seems to be banking its entire future in this. So what happens when people start catching on and opting out of everything?
"Verizon Selects"?
Are those like Chicken Selects?
And to wash it all down?...a big glass of "Verizon Up".... now with extra kool aide.
O yeah, I'm sure google is really scared!
The movie "the circle" was a disastrous, horrible, awful movie with 70s porno star type acting, an awful plot, it's a hot mixed up mess. You felt worse leaving the movie theater than you felt going in, one of the worst movies, well, possibly ever made. BUT... it showed America one thing, and that is companies and govts all want to know everything about you. Verizon selects will give you free stuff, like movie passes, etc. For a price. You must tell lowell everything about your browsing history and apps usage. Question is, will people do like they did on election night 2012 and choose free stuff over liberty?
