VPN Use As A Consumer Protest

Every one one of us gains access to the Internet through an Internet Service Provider, or ISP.

In the U.S. your ISP has the right to sell your personal information, including your browser history, to any individual or corporation. They can sell your information 100 times a day, every day, if they choose. This is a significant source of revenue for ISPs. There’s a long line of buyers, frantically waving wads of $100 bills in the air, eagerly lining up to outbid each other in order to acquire this information about you every day.

Many people find this offensive, and have lost trust in their ISP to keep their personal information private.

What can you do about it?

Is there any way to shout “NO!” and make it count?

When you use a high-quality consumer VPN, you express your disagreement with the careless sale of your personal information.

But using a high-quality consumer VPN is also a potent and effective protest, because you deny the ISP the very product they want to sell — your browser history.

As an empowered consumer, it might make sense to try out a free version first, just to get a sense of how they work and how they fit into your everyday online experience.

Does your ISP’s casual disregard for your privacy bother you?

“NO!” is a complete sentence.
