Torturing is currently illegal. Selling customers' data is not currently illegal.

Won't the law only help then?

I wonder if they will make you sign a release when you sign up for a service. So you will need to consent to use the ISP.

Now it is going to become legal in Maine — as long as you are an ISP.
