    MASSIVE ALERT! ISPs to SPY on Customers Openly July 1st!

    Postby roketfiq » 30 Jun 2012, 06:35

    Thats right. Major ISPs have opted to begin openly spying on their customers with the intent to detect and punish those participating in copyright infringement! Closest starting date is stated at July 1st!

    Be on HIGH alert guys! This is extremely messed up! Im hoping the internet explodes in rage upon hearing this and takes the fight to them. We know many websites would dislike this and saw it in the black out of major sites in protest in recent months.

    Only in America. Besides aren't ISPs going to suffer hugely if their customer base drops due to this?

    Perhaps. Still there are a lot of people that do piracy. I doubt some people ever get caught doing it and some have been doing it for years.

    In US, you guys are supposed to get "black boxes" in your cars in 2016? They can listen to you and record everything you say

    Nope, in most regions there is a hegemony of providers due to the requirement that companies lay their own lines. Of course one could go for satellite however the would be a large drop in the speed they could get.

    and this is why I use VPN\proxy and prefer to keep my privacy. Things will only get worse, not better.

    Who wants to sign up to the MG VPN service :)

    I can use something like that, I have to go through a proxy server at work, but if I can access a proxy through a site instead that would be great just so i can read the forum.
    Peace :D

    Subscription based. You paying? For this much security is it worth it? Does your ISP ask questions why you use VPN or they just don't know.

    It's legal and also their is no history of what you have done, therefore the ISP can't say anything
