Ok, the question then becomes 2 fold for me.

Will the VPN providers sell the info? I understand they exist to protect privacy, but will this new law make it possible for them to say one thing and do another?

And secondly, sites like google, FB, and amazon will still be collecting my data for sale, even if I have a VPN, correct?

P.S I rarely post on FB, but I do read my friends posts and articles. I guess it will be time to ditch it and Google and use some other search engine. Are their any that don't collect data? I mean, I'm not doing anything that would seem to matter, but I don't want to become a product unless I give my permission, like when I request to be added to a mailing list.
