Hello everyone, with the unfortunate passing of the FISA expansion, I was left with a few questions. I tried to research it, and to me, it seems like they are beefing up surveillance with routers and ISPs (correct me if I’m wrong.) Aside from having businesses stalk you when you use their WiFi (connected with ISPs.)

And if that’s the case, should I just always use a VPN? And furthermore, shouldn’t you have always used a VPN prior to this anyways?

That’s why I’m confused because I already thought that other businesses were collecting data and our ISPs were already sending our data away, so I’m partially confused about what the real change here with FISA is.

Any clarification and advice is greatly appreciated, thank you.

      Call them afterwards and tell them that because of this you’re not voting for them in the next election

        I would, but I’m worried that somehow I can get in trouble for harassing a government official.

          No, you’re just telling them your opinion. Just make sure to stay calm and friendly, don’t get aggressive or insult them and you’ll be fine.
