Remember when your cable provider first offered the “triple play” package? It consisted of bundling your home phone, Internet and TV services into one bill.
Now cell phones have replaced the home phone, services like Netflix, Hulu, Disney and Amazon Video have replaced cable TV, and cable companies revenues are declining.
But government came to the rescue in new law SJR-34 that lets your Internet provider sell and share your browsing history without your consent.
SJR-34 only helps cable providers monetarily, it does NOT address any consequential privacy and security issues.
Please understand this clearly: SJR-34 now allows your Internet provider, the company YOU PAY, to sell and share your browsing history without your consent.
Contrast this with other situations where you pay for services that necessarily involve the disclosing of your information. When sitting down with your lawyer or doctor or accountant, you have legal confidentiality. That confidentiality means the information you give to them cannot be shared without your consent. You pay them for their services, they cannot get paid for your information.
Is there a browsing privacy solution that allows your device to hide your browsing from your internet provider? Answer is yes, read on.
