Privacy is one word which is nearly extinct in this cyber world and we live in a world where our private data are without someone we dont know. Recently there has been a plan by FCC that can help in preserving somewhat privacy.
ISP (Internet Service Provider) can track any users data when they needed and they can even track the physical location of the user throughout the day and it is stated that ISPs are selling the data they collect to the Advertisers.
User data has a good value in Underground market, but not only there it has an immense value in normal web too. The ISPs will collect the
App you use frequently
Websites you visit regularly and
Queries you make often
and sell these data to the advertisers so that they can targetly send the advertisement to that user. FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has planned a new proposal in which ISPs has to provide the details about what data they are using and how they are using them.
It is said that the new plan will be considered and will be implemented if agreed by the concerned authority. You can view the complete report here.
P.S: The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
