T-Mobile nefarious action

Preview:
T-Mobile now monitors and sells what browser you use, what websites you visit, your WiFi networks and even what apps you use. They sell the results to anyone who will pay them. Here's how to opt out.

T-Mobile has a new program called Insights. They monitor what browser you use, what websites you visit, and your WiFi networks. They do this across all your devices and sell the results to anyone who will pay them. For Android phones, they even check what apps you use and how much you use them. They add that to your profile. This "feature" is coming for iPhones as well.

Is there an easy way to turn this off? Surely there's a setting somewhere. No, there is no setting. But, you can download another app, whose usage will be added to your profile, called: 'Magenta Marketing Platform Choices'. That program apparently lets you opt out of their tracking.

One of the many 1 star reviews of this program on the Google Play Store:

FORTY COMPANIES HAVE MY DATA?... I paid for my phone and pay T-Mobile a HEALTHY sum monthly for the service. This is UNACCEPTABLE!
