Google and my ISP are two very different things.
Google and Facebook sell user data, as do other sites. But I can choose not to use those sites. I can get online and use sites that don't sell user data. If I CHOOSE to use sites like Google and Facebook I am accepting their terms and know they are selling my data. Allowing ISPs to gather and sell user data doesn't level the playing field because I am already paying the ISP for their service. If they want to make more money, charge me more or offer other services that I can buy. About 30% of the homes in this country have no choice when it comes to ISP. There is one in their area and if they want access to the Internet they have to use that ISP.
Now they have no choice when it comes to their privacy. They can't just choose to avoid sites that sell their private data and use others that don't. They only have one choice for an ISP and if they want access to the Internet they have to be willing to surrender their privacy.
People should have a problem with this happening.
