Very well, fans, here it is, - the internet started as defense technology commissioned by the government (you have that right), which was then taken up by universities and then everyone else and developed and grown into what we know now. And yes, it was wild: no government rulings, no taxing, no policing. - Your ISP is bothering you and you don't have other options? Better get used to it, because once the government starts regulating them, less and less companies will want to go into the ISP business (large ISP companies already have expensive lobbyists in Washington, don't tell me you thought these government regulations are made 100% for your benefit). - last time I checked, it was The Government who was dumping toxic waste in the rivers <https://nyti.ms/2KdqoWL> https://nyti.ms/2KdqoWL>. Anyway, the government took over the rivers long ago. Try to go fishing to your nearest river or lake without a permit, see what happens. - I have bad news. Almost everyone is selling your personal data. Your bank, your credit card company, that place you take your car for service, that charity you donate to... you name it. Don't think your ISP won't do it because someone passed a law, they will always find a way to work around that law. You have to defend yourself, there's always VPN for instance. Just don't be so innocent as to think that because they passed a law now every little thing is going to be alright.
