The annoying part about this is it's hard to poison their database.
I routinely misstate my income in various places where it's requested.
Declining to give information isn't as effective as giving corrupt
information. However, if they're tracking what you're watching, it's
hard to have it register something else and not register what you're
watching.
The interesting part is that they're doing something that cable and
satellite companies aren't allowed to do. I have to wonder if there's
some regulatory agency that should be pressured into reviewing
AT&T's circumvention of their rules.
UPDATE: We hear all the time about Hillary's stand on the War. Last week Hillary introduced what I think should be a primary plank of the the Democratic Party: A Privacy Bill Of Rights.
Indeed, I think this is the most fertile territory out there to gain
some disaffected Republican voters and put some of the mountain west in
our electoral quiver. It’s smart politics. We are building a police state and I firmly believe that, politics aside, if you build it they will use it.
That all this has been done by the alleged libertarian small government
Republicans is no surprise to me. They have always been about big bucks
and authoritarianism over all else. Democrats have an opportunity to craft a real message of American
independence if they choose to take it - and it might just be the way
to beat back the fear factor a little bit, which I think people are
getting tired of.
