In the wake of this spring's Senate ruling nixing FCC privacy regulations imposed on ISPs, you may be (even more) worried about how your data is used, misused, and abused. There have been a lot of opinions on this topic since, ranging from "the sky is falling" to "move along, citizen, nothing to see here." The fact is, ISPs tend to be pretty unscrupulous, sometimes even ruthless, about how they gather and use their customers' data. You may not be sure how it's a problem if your ISP gives advertisers more info to serve ads you'd like to see—but what about when your ISP literally edits your HTTP traffic, inserting more ads and possibly breaking webpages?
With a Congress that has demonstrated its lack of interest in protecting you from your ISP, and ISPs that have repeatedly demonstrated a "whatever-we-can-get-away-with" attitude toward customers' data privacy and integrity, it may be time to look into how to get your data out from under your ISP's prying eyes and grubby fingers intact. To do that, you'll need a VPN.

A truly erudite bon mot, AC. I confess I am somewhat hurt. Was that your intention?
By all means identify errors of logic, debate a point, or simply disagree with me - but all of this can be done without resorting to ad hominems or just plain rudeness. If we all went around saying "fuck you" to everything and everybody the level and quality of discourse would drop precipitously. I suspect your behaviour in real life is similar - not that you voice your perennial disgust aloud in such a manner - but I figure you are probably thinking it when you interact with your fellow human beings. It's not an healthy way to approach life.
You might have had something constructive to say but whatever it might have been was overshadowed by your closing repartee. Try to do better next time because; just as surely as you might choose not to associate with me; I don't wish to be showered with pointless barbs.
Pray remember; next time you go to post something; that there is another human on the other end of the Internet - a living, breathing human - another human being, essentially just like you.

No you're just a long winded bullshitting gas bag and you're adding absolutely fucking nothing to the discussion. Kindly fuck off.
You're one of those self-important pieces of shit, who after learning to read and write, decided what you write is of such paramount supremacy that you can simply stop reading since you already know everything.
Next time you feel like writing a masturbatory treatise to your own genius, stop and read TFA first. Or you can just fuck off like the stupid motherfucker which you clearly are.
