Donald Trump is in the process of repealing privacy legislation introduced by Obama that prevented ISPs from selling personal data. This will mean that ISPs will be able to sell personal browsing history and associated data - freely and without permission. I believe that congress has already passed this change and a repeal will be made via executive order.
