My prediction of municipal broadband is that someone down the line is going to submit a FOIA request for their neighbor's internet history and the municipality will accidentally fulfill the request in violation of the law. Or leak many millions' of peoples' internet history.

Let's say, for example, a city hall member is on municipal WiFi on their personal phone while in-session. Instead of going through the difficulty of getting them to hand over their phone to a FOIA officer to search for responsive documents, why not just submit the FOIA to the municipal IT department and get the logs that way?

Is there a good reason why this category of concern shouldn't actually be be a concern?

edit: yes ISPs sell your data. that's a separate concern outside of this.
