###### You REALLY should delete ALL carriers packages you can. US mobile carriers are really sc*mbags. I think you already know it.
# There are so many scandals that I can't all post here but if you are not aware here is some :
#
# 1) They have been discovered to sell the real-time location of your phone to shady third parties (like data-bounty-hunters)
# https://www.zdnet.com/article/us-cell-carriers-selling-access-to-real-time-location-data/
# https://www.theverge.com/2019/2/6/18214667/att-t-mobile-sprint-location-tracking-data-bounty-hunters
# 2) In 2016, Verizon struck a $1.35M settlement with the FCC for modifying wireless user data packets to covertly track users around the internet
# without telling them
# https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/12/20/turn_inc_verizon_supercookies/
# Others stuff for Verizon : https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/jgem57/verizon-launches-private-search-engine-after-years-of-violating-its-customers-privacy
#
# 3) Not a scandal but freaking scary :
# https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/22/18635674/att-location-ad-tracking-data-collection-privacy-nightmare
#
# Wikipedia pages are worth reading :
# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T#Criticism_and_controversies
# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verizon_Communications#Criticism
#
#
# TL;DR : Your mobile carriers spy at you, sell your personnal data (e.g location) to anyone (like data-bounty-hunters for instance) and do
# everything they can (big lobbying) to lock the internet and make more money.
# HELP ME : I got mad seeking for the meaning of VPL. A lot of people use it on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Bestbuy/search/?q=vpl&restrict_sr=1)
# and I'm sure it's the good abbreviation but I don't know what V.P.L means !! It seems to refer to a special job for vendors.
