Does Your Internet Service Provider Know What You're Wearing Right Now?

By Mishio Tsenaka of Tsenaka Group

Your Internet-Service-Provider (ISP) Tracks & Records Every Single Thing You Do Online!

How Creepy is That?

So do they actually know what you're wearing?
Well probably not, but what they do know is probably worse.

Based on my professional experience; most people are completely oblivious to this fact, but it's totally legal for them to do it, and this is (basically) why they are legally allowed to do it.

When you connect to the internet via your ISP,
what you are actually doing is asking your ISP to allow you to use their servers to connect. You are sending a request to the ISP's severs asking them to connect you to a certain website (for instance) or to deliver an email to a certain email address. And every single time you interact with that website you're visiting (by typing for example, or by using your mouse) you are actually sending another request for your ISP to approve. It's fairly easy (and common) for the average web surfer to make several hundred of these requests per online session. And every single one of those requests is logged and time-stamped by the ISP's servers. Since you are going through their servers (that they own) they are completely free to LEGALLY do anything they want to do with what is now THEIR data (for the record; this is the same reason it's also legal for websites and Public-Proxy owners to LEGALLY do the same thing).

Furthermore; most of the websites you visit are doing the exact same thing (but in this case they can only do it while you're actually on their website). But your ISP does it for every website.

All of this Tracking is done using your computer connection's unique identification number called an IP Address. It's like the street address of your house, or your car's license plate. And guess what? Your ISP certainly knows what number it assigned to you. They know exactly who you are, where you are, your SS#, and all sorts of other stuff about you, and if you watch the news, you know that they're certainly not above sharing all that data about what you do online (with government agencies for example).

I'm libertarian. And beside meaning that I like reading Ron Paul; that basically just means that I don't like people interfering with my life(whether it be an organization, a government, a corporation, or even if it's just my neighbor down the road ). But I'm also a programmer; that means that I know how to do something about it (online at least). The solution is that after you connect to the internet (i.e, after you connect to your ISP) instead of just going directly to the websites you want to visit, you first connect to your own Private-Proxy-Server. That way, the only request your ISP sees is your request to go to the web address of your Private-Proxy-Server (that just appears to be an ordinary web address if it's an Elite-Proxy). To your ISP, it will just look like you've been connected to that same exact webpage for a really, really long time. When in-fact, you will have been surfing all over the internet without them knowing anything about it. Pretty cool ay?

This is sort of weird, but this is how I think of it.
Imagine you're a multi-millionaire but you don't want anyone to know. So you build yourself a huge elaborate mansion that's completely underground. Then you build a tiny rickety old cabin above ground with a trap door in the floor that leads down into your "real" home (the huge elaborate mansion underground). To anyone trying to keep tabs on you, it just looks like you spend a lot of time in that tiny old cabin. That tiny old cabin is your Private-Proxy-Server, and the elaborate underground mansion is the world wide web.

And by the way; aren't those the same socks you were wearing yesterday?

How true. Just like the old party line telephones and sending postcards through the mail. Nothing is private any more. Don't do anything on the internet you wouldn't want to be made public.

By any other measure of the law it would be a direct invasion of one's privacy! however as you've agreed to their terms of use policy when signing up to your ISP the only thing you can do is hope you've done nothing illegal or immoral...

BIG BROTHER IS DEFINITELY WATCHING!

I can't help but think that your ISP knows you wrote this Intel.

CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY

Nice. Love the humor... but what's even funnier than that, is that I can assure you that my ISP absolutely does NOT know that "I" wrote this intel. Can you guess why they don't know? That's right BibleFreeOrg, I was connecting through one of my Elite Proxy Servers when I wrote it! You and I should do a stand-up act together. - thanx for the comments

True freedom both online and offline is dying a slow, painful death.
