            How to Stop T-Mobile from Selling Your Web Browsing Data

   Josh Centers

   Ars Technica reports that [1]T-Mobile will start selling customer
   Web-browsing and device-usage data to advertisers next month. If you
   use Sprint, that also applies to you since T-Mobile acquired Sprint
   last year. T-Mobile's data-sharing program is reportedly more
   aggressive than AT&T's or Verizon's. T-Mobile claims that it doesn't
   hand over your name, only a unique identifier, but security researchers
   have shown how easy it is for advertisers to link such identifiers back
   to individuals. Visit [2]T-Mobile's Privacy Notice for instructions to
   opt out of data-sharing. If you feel the desire to [3]share your
   opinion of this sleazy program with T-Mobile, we're sure the company
   would appreciate the feedback.
