It should be clear that the things you can do to protect your own privacy from your internet provider are at best suboptimal and at the worst horribly needing. Surely, there are many interesting thing not worth discussing here because they are so technically difficult as to be effectively unavailable to the average internet user: Environments like swapping out your DNS server, positioning your own wireless router( and adjourning the one your internet provider gave you ), setting up a private email server, encrypting your emails, using the Tor Browser, and sporadically changing the MAC addresses of your united devices.

And none of these solutions or all of them together, for that matter are as good as having the standard rules on the books that merely restrict internet providers from spying on their consumers and selling their private info without acceptance. We have those rules today, but tomorrow they could be gone.

Good luck, internet users. You may soon be on your own.

If any of these members had ever been the victim of IDENTITY THEFT or FRAUD, they would probably not take away what little protection we have on the internet and everywhere else!!! I have been there. and let me tell you.....it's NO FUN!!!!
It's been over a year since my life was stolen, and even though I have been working with the authorities and agencies to help rebuild what was taken from me, it's not over yet and it is going to take a long time to put it all back together again. I feel like HUMPTY DUMPTY!!!!
Maybe these high ranking officials should take this into consideration before exposing everyone to the same mess that I am trying to deal with.
STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!!

I totally agree. I have armed myself and family with LifeLock. It is very much worth it. You would be surprised to see how much of your personal information is traded on the "Black Web" Just try Googling your name and see what comes up.

Yes, indeed. Thinking about starting an online self-defense training. It will be necessary in the days to come.
