Has anyone discussed this issue and its effect on our hobby.  This could be quite far reaching.

May be referring to law recently passed that will allow ISP to sell data.

Exactly. Thanks for the link. Invasion of our privacy. Big Brother tactics.

I have had an increase in my spam inbox recently with emails from dating, SB, SA sites.  

I read that there is go fund me site somewhere that is collecting donations with the intent of purchasing and publishing the search data for every member of Congress.

I know a lot of people will try to use TOR, etc.  But, to be honest, if you play in this arena, your information is out there.  

I mean - to be blunt, on the 'dark' web sites, all of our information is out there.  It provides picture, name, ID, etc.  I bet some of the ladies use it to verify, blacklist, etc.  

I think the approach one should always take is that 'someone' is watching.  Same approach you would take in work email ... someone is watching/reading, etc.  So, don't put stuff out there you are not comfortable with someone publicly showcasing.    

I doubt I am worth people's time ... but, I try to stay low-key.  Some people that act very well-connected, very active, etc .. those are the people that would tend to be watched.  I always recommend the low-key and UTR approach to everything.  

Fair to say that data will not be available for sale unless you have even more leverage over the ISPs than Congress -- isolated cases perhaps but not the entire Congress. Want that pay a black hat.

Expect the providers to be the primary consumers and you'll soon start seeing them reaching out to see if you can schedule with them.

If you are worried get a vpn ... Hide  my ass  a web proxy company is a good way to stay on the sidelines fir non techies
