What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.

    Doesn’t change anything. If I go to a sandwich shop that advertises sandwiches with meat, but I go during the lunch rush, they don’t get to sell me two slices of plain bread just because it’s busy. Even if their advertising includes in microscopic text the words “up to”.

    And the legality of these practices is irrelevant. We’re making the argument that it’s morally wrong and therefore should not be tolerated.

      Good addition, I guess I am making a moral argument. I was coming at it from an ethics POV but yeah. Also good sandwich analogy.
