>      Federal officials on Thursday approved privacy rules that will
>    curb the ability of broadband providers to collect data about
>    users, dealing a blow to AT&T, Verizon Communications and
>    others that rely on such information for their advertising
>    businesses.  The new privacy rules approved by the Federal
>    Communications Commission require broadband providers to get
>    permission to collect data on a subscriber's web browsing, app
>    use, location and financial information.  Currently, broadband
>    providers can track users unless those individuals tell them
>    to stop.
