Apparently, there’s a large ISP (Internet Service Provider) called Charter Communications that plans to partner with an ad company to track customers’ traffic on the internet. If the deal goes through, NebuAds will log all of the websites that Charter’s customers visit and eventually serve targeted ads.

Fortunately, two House members have asked Charter to put this deal on hold, as they question whether this “spying” complies with federal privacy laws.

Spooky, isn’t it? It’s creepy just thinking about this ad company knowing exactly what websites I’m visiting, and who knows what else they’ll find out about me? The internet is about the free exchange of information, but is this going too far? I wonder what my ISP is up to these days …
