Excellent post.
Side note: Reality is a VPN will only make it harder, but not prevent tracking.

Jones, A tech secret for you: Browsers are the real target, not your ISP traffic - which is the middleman and prone to user obfuscation (like with a VPN).

Example: If you have a google account and use Chrome, every facking thing you browse to in the browser is tracked by google servers (VPN or not)!

Chrome, Firefox, Safari all track browser history AND can [now] sell that info with or without ISP data.

Full out surveillance is a reality we have to live with...

I am just waiting until it backbites the dirty politicians who put it in place

Everyone wants to get in the business of selling peoples personal data, the govt is paying!

I might start profiling the guys on caribbean cricket and sell that info to the CIA:

problemjay: redflag
Emir: latent jhiadist
Point: dangerously verbose
Chrissy: reverse psychic powers

I think there is some valuable info here



wink wink lol lol

The biggest shock for me was when FB suggested friends to me that was in my cell phone call list! I never gave FB my cell phone #! Very sneaky!

FB and WhatsApp (all owned under the same roof) have explicit terms and agreements that state you grant them access to your call records and contacts.

Sneaky but granted...
