Your ISP tracking your every move is scarier than all of them after the ISP privacy bill passed. At least Facebook and Google give you something for it and you can route around them if you desire. No routing around ISPs unless you use a VPN but even then they are blocking those. Broadband/cable/telcos capture everything you do and can now sell that information and do[1]. That bill was the pre-cursor to removing net n…
Very few ISPs can track you no matter where you physically go, as your mobile, home, and work ISPs are likely all different. And ISPs are regional, none carry the level of threat of Facebook or Google. Of course, when states tried to reintroduce privacy protections... That covered ISPs and tech companies alike... Big tech stepped in and opposed. They weren't interested in protecting users, they just didn't want the c…
True, all tracking/privacy issues are bad but you can still route around Google/Facebook with simple things even such as hosts file loopbacks, browser extensions, using Firefox instead of Chrome and using different search/social networks.
Google and Facebook are blockable, ISPs can never be blocked.
Even with a VPN you are still going through an ISP gateway with that encrypted traffic and performing DNS lookups. This will lead to throttled bandwidth, can Google and Facebook throttle you down? Facebook/Google/etc have zero control over you if you want, ISPs always got your information.
ISPs can also track entire companies now, Facebook and Google do it by individual but ISPs capture everything, you always have to connect to an ISP.
The privacy overreach by ISPs is immense due to not being able to choose to be tracked, and they are lower on the service level as they are the base entry to the web.
ISPs are your entry/gateway to the internet and now track you and can sell your data, Facebook/Google ride on top of that. ISPs could also crush others tracking, replace ads in place of other networks which was in the bill, and will squash any small/medium advertising networks outright.
ISP tracking and privacy overreaches are definitely the biggest encroachment on internet freedom ever and much more of a problem than destination/apps built on it that you have to go to or can route around.
ISPs also bought/bribed their way into this monopoly reach, they did not earn it with providing products people desire, they have local monopolies with false competition that lessen the ability of people to change providers.
