"While this tactic of pre-empting real consumer protections with lobbyist-written fluff is Verizon's usual modus operandi, it's an interesting shift for Google (at least in terms of neutrality). It's clear the search giant is now willing to shelve their previous principles in order to protect their lucrative Android relationship with Verizon. ... Obviously rules written by Google and Verizon aimed at protecting Google and Verizon revenues would do little to protect consumers from bad behavior on either company's part. For months AT&T and Verizon (and we'd guess now Google) have been busily crafting a similar alliance aimed at trying to pre-empt real privacy consumer protection laws (like mandatory opt-in) that could constrict their behavioral advertising ambitions."
