Verizon has started selling the information about customers' geographical locations, web browsing and app usage to third parties. Some argue that this cam fall under the federal wiretapping law. It's most definitely invasion of privacy. Verizon is putting all of the information out there without necessarily making sure the customers are fully aware of their business being exposed."We're able to view just everything that they do," Bill Diggins, U.S. chief for the Verizon Wireless marketing initiative, told an industry conference earlier this year. Verizon claims to be able to do what they're doing and it still be legal.
Is this an invasion of privacy? Should Verizon be sued? Are any other companies doing this to customers? All are questions I'd like to have answered for myself.

That's such an invasion of privacy! I wonder if it is in fact against the law... If it is they should definitely be sued.
