Rejected petition Telefonica Plans selling analysis of customer data

Telefonica, the Spanish mobile phone operator and owner of O2, is launching a new division to sell information about its customers.

This is another step to a big brother country where freedom and privacy are just words without meaning and for that it must be stopped
