Quote from: Vasudev on February 18, 2024, 07:17 PMISPs in general to comply with government rules to monitor user habits. I had to add few links to be whitelisted and not throttled. Eventually they switched to new IP which solved the slow speed.

How prevalent is the internet over there? I'm asking because I find it a little difficult for any government to monitor what 1 billion Indians are doing. What do you suppose they're looking for? If they were indeed monitoring people I'd guess the first thing they'd do is make it difficult to sign up with a VPN. Here the government encourages people to hire a VPN for added security. NordVPN is located in Panamá, which is outside the reach of the US government.

My PII was leaked via an ISP years ago. So, started using VPN. You can monitor the browsing data and sell them to highest bidder for 3rd party advertisers and even on woo woo web.

I didn't know what PII meant so I googled it. It says "Personally Identifiable Information". Is this what you mean? If this is indeed the case, what is it about you they're looking for? I'd think they'd go for credit card numbers, bank information, passwords etc. Why would they be interested in anything else?

Isn't there https over there? In theory traffic over https is encrypted. Did they find some way to break it or what? I ask because here I've been using the internet for financial matters for ages and I've never had a problem. All sites use https without fail.

My ISP is Google Fiber. They would NEVER sell my PII. The reason is simple. If they do they'd get paid only once. If they use my PII for targeted advertizing without revealing their sources, they get paid many times over.

Can Amtrak Finally Bring High-Speed Rail To Texas?

In the United States, the number one killer is an opioid known as fentanyl. It is is wreaking havoc in the streets because it's up to 50 times more potent than heroine. But it seems this substance has no future:  a new pill that makes stronger and  clever has been identified – at least in movies.

I almost never travel but in my case I guess it doesn't really matter. I will not be around to see this thing completed, assuming it ever is.

Because of this extreme negative press coverage, it has become more difficult for people who really NEED opiates to obtain them. I refer mainly to those in extreme pain due to surgeries, but there are others. It's disgusting.

This is the ultimate in arrogance! The "Indians" (a misnomer) were here thousands of years before Columbus. And didn't Lief Ericsson "discover" America some 500 years before 1492? The Europeans came here for no other reason than to pillage, plunder, and enslave. It took us 300 years to finally kick them out, 400 in Cuba.
