:About this system:
I think it's no good, and yes it should be opt-in, with the default being no, instead of the other way around.
Now I'm wondering: Unlike most of their customers (probably), I get my HSI through their Business division.
I did that because some things are done differently. These things include:
- More liberal TOS.
- No port restrictions.
- No throttling.
- Static IP.
The downside? It's expensive for what you get.
I wonder, is my browsing history still sold to this company?
If it is, see my signature. I've added a section for "user submitted" sites to help pollute the data they collect. If you can't fight them in court, fight them in the wallet and make all the data they collect useless and worthless.
