Telcos have historically sucked up all your clickstream data and sold it to databrokers, while pretending it was no big deal.

And who can forget that it was just weeks ago that Verizon launched a VPN without any privacy policy at all?

Oath also reveals that humans will occasionally read your emails as part of their improving their email analysis system.
