Everyone is sharing your data. Google and Yahoo are the biggest collectors. Have you noticed that your ads seem to be coincidentally related to recent internet searches??? It’s no coincidence. Supposedly your personally identifiable information remains confidential, but your user activity remains unique. I don’t think it’s IP based because members of my household each seem to get ads pertains to their own internet searches or sites visited.

@ZbyfoXk-ucx Criminals have lots to hide. AT&T can share whatever they want. I have nothing to hide and worry about.

At this point, it would probably be in everyone's best interest if this company did go bankrupt.

@ZbyfoXk-uvv That is absolutely the wrong attitude to have about privacy issues.

Great Article WOW. Thought I would share a paragraph -

If this was a story about Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook, this scheme would cause a week-long outrage cycle. It is outrageous, especially when you consider that AT&T also routinely hands over customer information to the government, is under investigation for illegally selling customer location data to shady third parties, and is generally about as protective of your data as a hotel front desk guarding a bowl of mints.
