Tightens Privacy Rules for Broadband Providers http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/28/technology/fcc-tightens-privacy-rules-for-broadband-providers.html?partner=rss&emc=rss 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. - - - --Lauren--
