I've used PIA for a few years and it has been good to me.

*Rant- People are going way over board with OMG ISP is going to sell my pr0n history! When in fact it is much tamer than that. Nothing more than google, facebook and every other website does to you every single day when you fill in a captcha code on a third party website or hit a like button on some random site. Ect. ISP just want in on the $ that is already flowing from your browsing habits.

so we can use a vpn to protect ourselves.. which is a good vpn?

have you heard of this one?

Yes, except people can choose to not use Facebook or Google. And even using them allows you to Opt-out of being tracked. Most people here only have 1 or 2 choices for ISP's which track 100% of everything coming in and out of your house connection. Even if the data is stripped of user profiles, it is still more than enough to track specifically who was looking at Brazilian midget porn while cross shopping skittles on Amazon at 3 in the morning.

I'd be equally pissed if Facebook were tracking my entire browsing history after I left the website. I can live without social media or third party sites that try to collect my data. I can't live without an internet connection.

Madwi is right. PIA was good to me during the olympics as well. Free BBC from a UK server hahaha. And it's only $40 a year. i didn't see much of a decrease in speeds as well from running it. Plus it can be used on phones as well.

I suppose if you are a state actor building a profile through cookies to bust a CP ring or something, otherwise its more like Cookie4?2945/%632 is a male between 18-25, throw ads at him that are for his demographic.

Cheese Pizza??? :yum:

(I'm going to hell......)

Really if you want to "**** the system" continue to use ublock origin and adblock. Hit them in their wallets. that is their end game after all, not Lein likes midget mud wrestlers with dual cocks.

:rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:

ublock and disconnect. Adblock just ruins to many sites at this point. Tor when I am streaming or torrenting. And a few different Facebook extensions to stop auto play ads, block third party adds, disable caching for specific things, and other random stuff.

It probably explains why I can shop for dog food and get marketed ads for flip flops. No company has any idea what i'm actually doing.

Madwi, were you just on reddit? lol

"When someone buys that data, the buyer doesn't get "Andy likes Anal and Asians"; they get "The user with cookie ID #4ae74 is likely Male between 25-40" and that data is used to better target you with products and services you might enjoy."

lol, nah, watching a movie

whom ever said that on reddit is right though. :icon17:

Give it time and the interwebz will turn into the TV. Where everyone cuts the cord and providers are stuck showing sped up versions of seinfeld so they can cram more ads down old peoples throats.
