On the heels of data use accusations launched at AT&T and Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile are now facing effectively the same claims in class action lawsuits challenging the companies’ alleged practice of selling customers’ location data to third parties, including aggregators. Before these data class action lawsuits were filed, the Federal Trade Commission investigated broadband providers’ use and sharing of consumer data. This investigation was launched after it was reported that user data from AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile is easy for anyone, including those with malicious intent, to get their hands on. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this with Scott Hardy from Top Class Actions.
