You can’t sue someone because they do something you do not like. Well, you can, but you won’t win.

I guess you could ask for the providers to put it in their terms of service so you have something actionable to sue on. 
Now see my previous post. I tell my provider “put in a clause that says you won’t sell my data”. They reply “no”. And I 
do … what exactly?

. . . . . . . . .

Not sure we will get closure here. Some people think ISPs should be allowed to see data. Others do not. I am in the 
latter camp. The law is on the desk of POTUS which will do exactly what I do not want. My guess is he will sign it. 

Posting to NANOG will not change that. Shall we agree to disagree and move on?
