If you aren't using all the latest techniques to scramble your internet activities, here's another reason to start. Fools in Congress have repealed a law that required internet service providers to have permission from buyers to share personal information with third parties. It's unlikely that the current president will veto it, given its pro-corporate, anti-consumer protection interests.
Now, I wouldn't be voting for any of the current reps for my state anyway given their other agendas, but this is one more reason to give them the boot come next election cycle. Time to write some representatives some nastygrams, right folks?
"The law, passed last October days before President Trump was elected, and due to take effect by the end of this year, would have forced ISPs to get clear permission from users to share personal data such as "precise geo-location, financial information, health information, children’s information, social security numbers, web browsing history, app usage history and the content of communications”.
Furthermore, ISPs would have been ordered to allow their customers the ability to opt out of the sharing of less sensitive information, like an email address."
