> Why are we surprised Big Tech is doing the exact same thing?
I think you're conflating FaceBook (including Comcast & Verizon - surprise!) with the rest of "Big Tech". I'd like to hear how Apple, Amazon or Microsoft are part this coalition, or as "evil as Big Oil", etc.
Facebook has some poor timing in this news, but lets face it, there're privacy proponents and opponents. Facebook is almost never for privacy.
Notice: Comcast and Verizon are almost always on the wrong side of the issue, including this one.
I don’t have a professionally calibrated evil-meter...
But I’ll tell you why I trust Comcast and Verizon more than Facebook and Gooogle... the former two are completely honest about what they are, the latter two are not.
Typed on an iPhone because Apple is right upfront about what it is the do and how they make money.
Clearly you're not aware of e.g. apple maps says collection, iPhone defaults, or the apple maps business model. This rhetoric that Apple is special in this context is just the reality distortion field still rippling.
That Apple collect some data and keep it on their server I’m ok with that and I had the choice.
But if I learned that Apple gave my data to the company that produce a spyware that some remote friend installed on his computer from a dubious link, of course I would be mad at Apple because something in their security model would be seriously fucked up.
