Glad you mentioned early on about the vote in Congress to allow ISPs to sell our private data without our permission. This was one of the most under-reported yet important political stories of 2017. It reversed an Obama-era decision that would have required ISPs to ask permission before selling your private internet browsing data - the U. S. is the largest industrialized nation that does not ban this practice or at a minimum, require permission from customers. Senate Joint Resolution 34 was opposed by every Democrat and was voted for by almost every single Republican (two Republican Senators didn-t cast votes. Two Independents voted against it. In the House, every Democrat voted against it with three Democrats abstaining; every Republican voted for the resolution with six abstaining. It's worth noting that ISPs will collect & sell this data but will be unable to know if any of it originates from children on computers surfing the internet, which would therefore violate the Children-s Online Privacy Protection Act (-COPPA-. Others have pointed out that this also violates the UN Declaration of the Right to Privacy. -With regard to data used for marketing, no federal statute provides consumers the right to learn what information is held about them and who holds it. In many circumstances, consumers also do not have the legal right to control the collection or sharing with third parties of sensitive personal information (such as their shopping habits and health interests) for marketing purposes. - Government Accountability Office (GAO, -Information Resellers: Consumer Privacy Framework Needs to Reflect Changes in Technology and the Marketplace, - September 2013

Hey thank you for this. Quick ques that I wonder if a vpn will help with. Im having an issue where fb is continually disabling my account. It all started a month ago when I dmed a lot of people with the same message in a short amount of time. I didnt know it was against tos at the time. They disabled my account and have been disabling every account since. I tried using diff newly created emails, and I changed my number since they always ask at some point for that, and still get disabled. Could this be a matter of them tracking my IP address and now they know everytime I create a new account?

Hey, one question:
Can't the ISP always see the urls you send requests to because the traffic will always pass through the ISP. When you initialize a request you cannot encrypt the url you are requesting because the ISP needs to redirect you. i. e.
(you -> call -google. com-) --> ISP (knows you are requesting -google. com-) --> VPN --> google. com server. Then it goes the same way back with all data being encrypted.

Thank you for spreading awareness of this stuff
Though I'd love to know what guarantees you that the VPN provider doesn't keep any logs? Also i don't really understand why a VPN protects you from hackers on a public WiFi, why can't they intersect your connection to the VPN server?
would be awesome to get this tuff explained

Hey, I also watched your course. Truly valuable stuff you provide to the public. You mention many practices to keep private and secure, but it seems like a vpn will take care of many of these things which will save time and energy. Am I correct? If not, what is it that a vpn will not be able to do?

The VPN encrypts and decrypts your internet traffic. Their -no logs- policy is still what _they_ say. So in the end, you are still putting your trust into the VPN provider. Not saying there aren't trustworthy VPNs but this is something people need to know.
ProtonVPN is the only free VPN I trust.

How do we know that the NSA hasn't targeted VPN providers and successfully hacked in and monitor their incoming traffic? Price is not the biggest worry, security, safety and privacy are! If they were somehow able to provide a type of decentralized VPN, then it would make more sense.

Great video, new sub. I've had Nord for 2 years now and PIE before that. My speed results are much slower than yours but are tolarable, with a close server i get about 20meg down on a wired 100 Meg connection. Any idea, maybe comcast throdaling vpn trafic?

I use NordVPN and so far so good. I was lucky and got a special price plan of $2. 75 per month for a 3 year sign up ($99 total. I have my phone using it too. My plan allows for up to six devices. Funny when a website thinks I'm in Arizona when I'm not.
