By choosing to use your ISP, you have already chosen to trust the ISP to respect your privacy rights, which implies trusting their agreements with any third parties they choose to share your data with... Oh wait, that's not right.

Trust is not binary.

I trust Mozilla not to put backdoor in Firefox. I don't trust them at all to care about my privacy. In fact, I'm pretty sure they don't. (Hilariously, when you run Firefox for the first time, it phones home in order to show you the privacy policy.)

Similarly, I trust my ISP not to inject malicious code into my Internet traffic. I don't trust them that they don't snoop on me. I would be surprised if they didn't.

Have they apologised yet for their use of a pre-existing backdoor to push Comcast ads in-browser to several million users last November? The closest I've seen to them even acknowledging that they got caught is a pageful of sneering corporate spin-doctoring congratulating themselves on the “shared user experience”.
