That's cute, people thinking we still have privacy online. ISPs will be selling your browsing history soon enough.

You may have no online privacy, then too bad for you.

If you refer to the recent cancellation of a US law before it came into effect that would have reverted ISP selling customer data. Well you got it backwards. Anyways I'm not from the US and you'll be shocked to learn that I'm part of my own federated ISP[1] and that each subscriber has a say and is aware of what the ISP does, and privacy protection is a priority even when it is a governmental or police probe.

Actually, due to GDPR, the limitations on what companies can and can't do with your data are about to become much more stringent.
