T-Mobile hasn't been what you'd call competent when it comes to
protecting its customers' data. The company has been hacked numerous
different times over the last few years, with hackers going so far as
to ridicule the company's lousy security practices.
A responsible company might slow down on data collection until it was
certain it had figured out how to protect the data it collects. But
this being the United States, where there's no real accountability for companies with lax privacy and security standards (outside of four
days or so of mean Tweets), T-Mobile has announced that it's
dramatically expanding its collection of user browsing and app
download data.
