The GoFundMe sounds pretty futile. Why would they sell out the congressmen they bouight out? Or is there legal precedence where they have to sell to whoever is offering to buy?
Just skeptical of the course of action, and from skimming through the updates on that page, he seems to be sidestepping the direct question with "look how much data they get of you!" not how they'd go about getting and publishing specific, high-profile histories.

Okay, what a cunt of an orange.
Please tell me this is real.
Not everyone is trying to be. They may be trying to be as anonymous as possible, or simply don't want their ISPs to sell their traffic.
Is this actually possible? As far as I can tell, it seems like specific information still shouldn't be available?

I imagine hacking attempt and attacks could obviously still be an issue.

Do Republicans really think that their party is for the betterment of Americans? I don't understand this thought process. This party clearly hates people who are not rich post election.

Trump and the Republicans are asking to get hacked.

That's the thing: many either don't care or only care as far as it has an effect on their career. It is just about money and power for far too many Republicans and they know that pretending that they care is the only way to make their ignorant constituents swallow their bitter poison
"Well Mr. Bronx-Man, everything checks out here and we'll call you back if we like what we see."
"Thanks for having me! I'd love to be a part of this team."
"And I'm sure we'd love to have you here too! One last question though."
"Oh, go right ahead."
"Who exactly is this 'Xev Bellringer' you searched for 39 times in a single week?"
"................................."

No. They're in it for money and power, which brings more money. They don't even have to be subtle about it anymore because their constituents are thick and moderate Democrates are spineless.

I remember i decided to check out TD after Trumpcare fell through just to see how they were reacting. They were in full on mental gymnastics mode, with one of the top posts being a tweet from some guy saying that "Americans didnt want Obamacare, but were forced to take it. Americans didnt want RYANCare, and Trump saved us from it!!"
Like seriously, r/T_D is just a 4chan memeboard thats grown into this abomination it is today. I looked at it the other day and its exactly like being on 4chan circa 2008 only with Trump memes instead of Milhouse memes or whatever was popular on /b/ back then
The problem is that the ISP would never sell that info to someone who bought it just to spread it. Also, I guess it's unknown how specific the data will be such as an employer buying data related to an employee. Even if possible, that sounds like a giant lawsuit waiting to happen if it can be proven someone didn't get hired because of their browsing history.

Probably, Humble Bundle currently has a year of "Hotspot Shield - Elite VPN " as part of their Streaming Bundle, at least for the next eight or so hours.
Anyone used it?

Gonna look tame next to people with DeviantArt type material in their search history.

Who is Xev Bellringer? I'm afraid to search because I'm in work.

This would be counter-productive no?
This could cause people to think 'hmm my porn history is secret, and I don't care about the rest of my browsing privacy'.

It's expected. Many of them seem to think their meme and Internet "knowledge" makes them smarter than the average person. They're in their own echo chamber.

Why is VPN not good enough? Don't tell me you can still be tracked.

Can't wait for when employers start pulling search history and b/pol/the_donald shitheads start losing their jobs because their employer isn't comfortable having someone on staff that visits "ihateblackpeople.com" 47 times a day.
Gotta find the silver lining...

That's the only silver lining here. I can't prove it, but I know those alt-righters probably have the most vile search histories and browsing habits.

I read this as "piracy rules" and it got me excited for a moment.
I just took a gander and all I saw was shit about Susan Rice. And something about that PR check.
I mean, even outside The Donald, his desperate deflections from the Russia investigation have done a marvelous job of vurying all the awful shit he's recently signed.
It does a lot for American businesses with relationships to Trump. Fuck the citizens. Everything Trump does is in service to himself and the people that he has ties to.
He is literally fleecing the country while telling us it's for our own good.
I also thing he has such a hate boner for Obama that he just does some of this shit out of spite. Anything Obama was associated with is bad by default and has to go.

If your traffic is going over a VPN the ISP cannot see it. They would only see an encrypted tunnel going to a VPN IP address.
The only way anyone is seeing that traffic is if the VPN company hands it over.
What about geo-location data? Who would want a record of their movements every day to be accessible by anyone?
When using a secure connection on a private VPN, the only information the ISP would see from your IP is encrypted data going to and from the VPN's IP. They'd have to investigate the VPN for further usage information, and there'd be no way to identify which activity profile belongs to any particular user of that VPN.
It doesn't do anything for the American people, it's for them and their rich friends. Not a very shocking human behavior.

Was Obama opposing this or something? Thought I read 1-2 years ago this going to happen.
Rule 41 means the FBI can go after you regardless of what you're using to hide.
With the way things currently are, anonymizing yourself could lead to putting yourself on their radar aka "what does he/she have to hide?"
So, besides rolling back a regulation (https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-adopts-broadband-consumer-privacy-rules) that went into place last October which doesnt appear to have ever been enforced or even setup to be enforced in the six months it has been in play, how are the abilities of ISPs to sell your data any different than it was 10 years ago? Honest question here, because while it does suck that I will no longer have the potential ability to opt-out of ISPs selling my data, it seems like nothing has drastically changed from before Oct 2017.

So the question is are VPNs allowed to sell user​ data the same the ISP can?
I'm just wondering how difficult is it for the ISP to request and receive that information from the VPN service? And if they​ acquire it from the VPN are they allowed to sell our give away that information?

T_D already changed their tone, now they support this bill.
I checked briefly, the rationale is: the original Obama-era rule is a power grab, allows Facebook and Google to sell your data but not Comcast, Verizon, etc. Now their god emperor is playing fair game (4D chess) so everyone can sell. It is the first step to end the empire of Google.

I'd wager much of that subreddit is already probably on an NSA/FBI watch list anyway.
Character from the late 90s-early 2000s Sci-fi show Lexx from when it became a TV series ("season 1" was basically a 2 hour movie IIRC) played by Xenia Seeberg. Assuming Bronx-Man wasn't including the original version of the character and actress as well. Probably was and I understand, she was the main reason to watch that show.
