now instead of having to go through the trouble of getting a subpoena or a warrant, the govt can just buy everyone's browsing history en mass and sift through it at their leisure

I am thinking it might be about time to drop internet service entirely, and visit some public wifi hot spot when I need to get on the Net. What a massive pain in the ass.
Fuck the Republican party for allowing this to happen. |

Obviously your intelligence is too great for me. I am not worthy. View Quote As an ISP, I can harvest your time on airtightgrannies.com, ARFCOM, ApMex, Amazon, Best Buy, Netflix, Hulu... Literally every single thing you do online. I can then feed those into a database, munch up the data in a Hadoop cluster and spit out, on the other end, a very detailed profile of VooDoo3dfx as a commodity. And that doesn't even get into what the gub'mint could do with it... |

Who wants to get into the VPN business? View Quote There is a crap ton available. Some with "Lifetime" subscriptions Get your VPN now. For those of you that don't know how it works. Without a VPN your ISP see's EVERY site you visit (no matter if its https / SSL or not) With a VPN you are giving a IP address that forces ALL traffic through that IP. So, all your provider knows is that you are connecting to that single IP. They have no idea what sites you visit. They only see that single IP. That being said there is frequently bottle neck issues and you are unlikely to get maximum throughput on your available ISP bandwidth no matter what VPN provider you choose. Nevertheless speed is typically more than sufficient (depending on your VPN provider). Edit: One more thing. Streaming services very often "Blacklist VPN's" because people try to user them to circumvent geoblocking (using netflix / amazon prime video in europe ...etc when you are not authorised) So, you will likely deactivate the VPN to use streaming services unless you want to keep rotating trying to find one that hasn't YET been blacklisted (and it soon will be) |

We straight up live in a banana republic. Look at how much ISP's spent on lobbying last year for a clue.
Fuck the Senate. Every single one of them. You have zero privacy in America. You used to have rights. Now you have none. |

What's the over/under until VPN services are banned because "terrorists"?

There are two sides to this. On one side, your ISP is a public company. Them selling your browsing data is no different that a store watching how you walk around their store. As long as they warn me that I am being watched it generally isnt a big deal. I cannot be guaranteed anonymity in a public space.
Now for obvious reasons I would select a ISP that wouldnt do this shit. But maybe the bigger argument here is that if my browsing information is worth something then I have used the service I paid for to make something of value. If I have made something of value then dont I own it? If what is proposed is legal, couldnt an ISP also track a day traders ( or even an automated trader) real time and sell this information real time. Those clicks in real time are valuable, how can they be sold to a competitor by some one who didnt create them? |

Are we on the wrong side???
Why does our congress seem to be selling out our privacies and rights at every turn?? |

Meh, whatever. At least someone will be able to make some money off of what the government has been making hay with.

Is this the one where they are repealing a last minute rule by the Obama administration, that doesn't even take effect until next year, and is enforced against ISPs but not any other website or service?
So essentially, nothing has changed at all? |

What authority does congress have to prevent your ISP from selling this info?
This is something for the market to sort out, not government |

Cruz and Paul voted for it. Schumer voted against it. Guess I know which side I'd be on.
