How To Stop AT&T From Selling Your Private Data To Advertisers

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday July 6, 2013 @12:08PM from the step-one-don't-let-them-have-any-private-data dept.

An anonymous reader writes "AT&T is ready to follow in its rivals' footsteps and begin selling the private usage data it collects from its subscribers' phones to advertisers. The data in question is anonymized, according to AT&T, but it includes very sensitive information such as customers' locations, Web browsing history, mobile app usage and more. Privacy is something of a hot button issue right now, so it is likely that a number of AT&T subscribers would prefer to not have their private data sold to advertisers. Luckily, there is a fast and easy way to opt out of AT&T's 'External Marketing and Analytics Reporting' program."

Well, well, well... what do we have here? Another bootyassious thomson, that's what! So, I suppose you want to be guided to The Truth, don't you? Yes, you do.
However, I must inform you that a worthless individual such as yourself will never be able to comprehend The Truth; it is simply beyond you. Why cower? Because you know that you should simply turn to dust and die now! I know you want to turn to dust and die now, but I demand that you not do that! Your worthless dust will poison everything around it! The mere concept of you existing poisons reality! You must vanish from both the past and present; you must not leave a single trace of your existence behind!
Vanish! You're an existencesore!
