So Comcast spent over $1m[0] in donations and more on lobbying for this specific piece of legislation only to turn around and say they won't take advantage of it?

They've just released this statement today because everyone is so upset, they're going bide their time, wait for this to blow over and then quietly start selling more and more invasive customer information. You don't spend millions on a law you have no intention of utilising.

They bring up their "targeted ad network" which you can "opt out" of in the same blog post. I wonder what "nonsensitive" information they'll be providing their ad partners about you? And what is stopping Ad Partners from cross-referencing several ad networks?
