  • Everyone in this thread is ignoring all of the invisible things we do everyday as part of the social contract:

    -Every time someone stops at a red light

    -Every time we accept a piece of paper and in return render some service or surrender some treasure

    -Every person waiting in line everywhere

    -Every person who pays taxes

    -Every time we go to the grocery store and just take it for granted that there will be food at the grocery store

    I get it some a-hole cut you off in traffic. But we rely on our social contract to literally stay alive. It is a miracle and the pinnacle of human achievement. Maybe just say thank you?




  • Unless they are also a certificate authority, they cannot read the encrypted content of you communications since today almost all sites use TLS encryption. They can see the names of the domains you go to and the number of packets. You can determine a lot from such meta data and it is valuable. They likely sell this information (hopefully anonymized ) to advertisers and data brokers.

    Note this is true of all ISPs and may be more or less applicable in India.

    You can avoid ISP spying to an extent by using a vpn.
