Re: FCC Internet Privacy Reg canceled- good or bad?

https://www.torproject.org/is your friend. VPNs are your friend. https://pi-hole.net/ is your friend.

Then again, if you're using any free services (google, yahoo, facebook, microsoft) or pay services (amazon, bn.com, ebay), then it's not AT&T that you really need to be worried about. And Tor/VPN/I2P/whatever else wont shield your habits when YOU are using these services. And you don't even actually have to use the service for it to track you.

Oh wait, we all use those all the time. Anyone ever actually read that EULA that you click Agree to every time they ask you?

Ever notice how if you search for, say, Generators at home depot, then you get banner ads and amazon suggestions at Amazon? Or how amazon will email you? I've noticed that if I ever hit the 5.11 website from my phone -- which I have NEVER logged into the site from -- I will get emails saying "Hey, we noticed you looked at these, take a look at these other tacticool things we thought you might like"
