Comcast Cable Internet Privacy Intrusion?

• Lawmaker Questions Comcast Exec @ Yahoo
• Comcast Tracks Users' Web Browsing @ Yahoo

A quote from the first bullet:

Rep. Ed Markey, an aggressive privacy advocate in Congress, pressed the top executive at Comcast Corp. on Wednesday over the company's decision to begin recording the Web browsing activities of each of its 1 million high-speed Internet subscribers.

He said the company's action could be in violation of federal law.

In a link from the third bullet:

Beginning immediately, we will stop storing
this individual customer information in order to completely
reassure our customers that the privacy of their information is
secure.``

Needless to say I was on the line with Comcast for an hour today lodging a complaint. *It seems the press was put to good use today.

I applaud your action. *May these motherless illegitemae be reunited with their progenitors, and soon.

Hmm that's nasty. Good wording checkout *

In Detoxia we would just say "Those bastards!"

What I find unsusual is that although Comcast "claimed" to be using the data for making their network better...there was no evidence of such action.

Sounds a lot like "Big Brother is spying on you"... *

Enjoy! *
