You’re only deleting a local copy of the information your ISP is now legally allowed to collect about you, hold as long as they want, and share with anyone, for profit, without your consent. The only way to combat this right now is to install and enable https Everywhere, tell your browser to ignore non-encrypted traffic, and use a VPN service that you trust. ALSO: - search using duckduckgo instead of google/bing - it doesn’t track your shit - browse using tor instead of regular browsers - it’s more secure (not perfect tho but nothing digital is and i won’t help break laws, just keep you more private) - don’t use ‘sign in with facebook/google/etc’ links, keep your logins separate (facebook knows and tracks what you’re signing into if you use them even if you’re not using facebook directly) - call your ISP and ask what info they have on you and what you can opt out of - there’s a lot that you can stop them from recording, and if you do this tell them how upset you are that they can sell your info this shit’s all fucky and the world is bonkers bad but you can do small things to help yourself DuckDuckGo is still based in the US and can give away your information to the government if the receive the order. Still a good search engine but use it wisely Tor is also already being heavily monitored by the FBI so it can only be used with VPNs and people who are network savvy enough to counter this.
