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

I'm with most of the people here who think the canceled regulation is next to meaningless.

Also, I'm in the camp of "I've got nothing to hide, but I like my privacy nonetheless." At the same time, I won't bother using Tor or a VPN as a personal preference. There is so much data collection out there that there's pretty much no more expectation of privacy in the digital world, or even the real physical world. There are almost 325,000,000 people in the US alone. The way I see it, as long as I don't stand out, the odds of some entity taking aim at me in a negative way is virtually zero. Thus, I won't bother going through hoops and hurdles just to get a modicum of privacy.

The only precautions I take are just those that will protect my financial and personal safety directly. Otherwise, if some wiseguys decide that I like listening to Avril Lavigne, they can go ahead and do whatever they want with that info. They can put it on a giant, flashing billboard off PGBT for all I care.
