# Un-Un-Carrier

[T-Mobile is going to start sharing some customer information with third-party advertisers unless their customers opt-out, which is *so cool* and *not absolutely jackasstastic at all*:](https://www.theverge.com/2021/3/9/22321733/t-mobile-privacy-policy-third-party-advertisers)

> T-Mobile will soon put a new privacy policy into effect that will allow it to share certain kinds of customer information with third-party advertisers. Starting on April 26th, 2021, all customers will be automatically opted in to the new program, as [spotted by *The Wall Street Journal*](https://www.wsj.com/articles/t-mobile-to-step-up-ad-targeting-of-cellphone-customers-11615285803?mod=djemalertNEWS). Customers who don’t want to participate will need to manually opt out using their accounts’ [privacy tools](https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=66960X1514734&xs=1&url=https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/take-control-of-your-data).

For a carrier that built up their business shouting about how they weren’t like those *other* cellular providers, this is a pretty standard-issue-carrier-horseshit move.
