    Not trying to be rude but do you believe that your ISP isn’t spying on you now?

      Actively watching and looking at my browsing info? Not really.

      Saving all of my data and monitoring aggregate data for any alerts to abide by whatever legal nonsense? Absolutely.

      They can only see what domains you’re visiting, nothing more. This is why VPNs work. However, you’re not putting your trust in the VPN to not spy on what domains you’re visiting.

      Here in the states it’s recognized (at least by the information technology literate sector) that deep packet inspection crosses a line. I can’t speak to the justice system in Canada, but over here calls to require ISP and telecommunications services to govern end-user traffic has alway been overruled…eventually.

      If nothing else, it creates a lot of extra work and infrastructure for the ISPs

      Your isp already spies on you, but now they’re under a court order to block certain ip addresses. If you’re pirating, you should be paying for a good vpn.

      As much as they can yeah. I switch off ISP DNS as fast as possible but outside of that, yeah they have logs of where I go and what I do.

      Same as carriers. Everyone is freaking out about Facebook privacy or some app spying on you, but your carrier logs all your calls and texts and location data and has quite a bit of pedigree data from your address, banking info and other financial details. They know far more than Apple or Google or Microsoft.
