On: Senators push to ditch social security numbers in light of Equifax hack

[hedora]

I suppose Karen Zacharia is the token black hat? Verizon aggressively breaks people’s expectations of privacy by MITM rewriting HTTP connections.

(Or, maybe she was at Yahoo! during the breaches...)

[Sephr → hedora]

Verizon isn't breaking people's expectation of privacy implicitly by MitM-rewriting unencrypted HTTP.

They are breaking this expectation by using the MitM-rewriting of unencrypted HTTP to inject tracking identifier headers for third parties.

Comcast also MitM-rewrites requests and occasionally leaves extra fingerprinting entropy, but they don't intentionally kill your privacy like Verizon.
