RE: NET NEUTRALITY | Would Repealing Net Neutrality Bring Back Internet Privacy?
Your ISP tracks, stores, and mines every bit of data that passes through their network. Just imagine the amount of data that your ISP must collect on you, it's the amount of data the likes of Facebook and Google could only dream about. What the ISP's do with all that data though will be widely down to the repeal.
Most of the data is junk. For example, when you browse steemit, they only see the site name and all else looks like junk. Cause the data is encrypted. They have no idea what you say or type in facebook google or steemit. All three of these are ssl encrypted sites.
Voted for visibility.
I was watching the WAN show at Linus Tech Tips (YouTube/Twitch channel) and heard that an ISP in British Columbia, Canada, blocked all encrypted information a couple of years ago while net neutrality was repealed. It's not a good idea to give power back to ISPs because they want all of your information unencrypted. The ISP doesn't do that anymore, but it's still a possibility for the US.
