FTC to Examine ISP Privacy Practices on Consumer Behavior and Device Use

AT&T, Comcast, Google Fiber, T-Mobile and Verizon are all being analyzed

The Federal Trade Commission said in a statement on Tuesday that it is looking into how major U.S. internet broadband providers “collect, retain, use and disclose information” about consumers and the devices they use to access the internet.

As part of an examination into the privacy practices of big internet service providers, the FTC said it had issued an order to seven companies, which includes AT&T, Comcast, Google Fiber, T-Mobile and Verizon, seeking information about their privacy and data practices.
