That's not true.

Most end users (at least in the US) don't have a choice as many jurisdictions have sold a franchise (monopoly) to one 
provider. Either they sign or they don't get internet. 

Perhaps 5G will broaden the number of providers end users can choose from, and not be forced into this kind of 
contract. But why do you think any ISP would agree to not collect this information?

That's called informed consent. And Facebook and Twitter use TLS to

That's the point. The customer is providing information willingly when 


they post to social media. The ISP is collecting data without consent.
