FTC will examine privacy policies at major internet providers
Just because American internet providers are facing looser privacyregulations doesn't mean they're avoiding all scrutiny.
The Federal Trade Commission has ordered AT&T, Comcast, Google Fiber, T-Mobile and Verizon to hand over information on their privacy policies and practices as part of an investigation.
The FTC would also like to know if customers have control over their data, including options to turn down data collection or delete whatever the ISP keeps.
And given that telecoms have sometimes played fast and loose with customer privacy, it won't be completely shocking if the FTC tells them to alter their practices and keep sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands.
