An article has been published which cites that Verizon and Verizon's "Precision Insights Division" have been using unique identifiers to seed web requests sent from customer phones to websites, which personally identify us as well as our location, without our knowledge. Has anyone read this? I'd like to know how this is legal and exactly where they figured this would increase their consumer base..
