If you don't trust your ISP, you are savvy enough to use a). a different resolver or b). a VPN. In both cases, the decision is opt-in (which is what it should be).
Edit: or option c). apply pressure to your government representatives to update their privacy laws so ISP snooping doesn't happen in the first place. It's a sad state of affairs when the ISP market has failed so badly that you can't find an ISP you can trust.

So you think that non-savvy users don't deserve privacy? > Edit: or option c). apply pressure to your government representatives to update their privacy laws so ISP snooping doesn't happen in the first place. That's definitely desirable. Heck, the snooping in question might already be illegal in California under the new CCPA. But I don't see federal legislation happening anytime soon, and the US is not the only jurisdiction lacking privacy protections. And while privacy laws can prevent snooping for advertising purposes, good luck convincing the government to outlaw snooping by intelligence agencies. Ultimately, legal and technical measures are not mutually exclusive, and we should use both.
- axaxs 6y agoThe nonsavy user gets zero privacy. Who cares about encrypted DNS when your ISP sees every server you connect to?
- _jarroda 6y agoThe reason I don't trust my ISP is because of my government. I don't think appealing to them for help will be of much use.
