What a load of shit.
Not only have they been doing this, blatantly, since the 2000’s (remember PRISM?), but even credit report agencies were originally setup in the 80’s to do exact this, and exploit this exact loophole for the government.

ISP’s have been collecting and selling browser history since 2010 at least

IIRC that shit started in the mid to late 90s, so under Billy Clinton
