Your internet privacy is now for sale to the highest bidder in Trumpistan

[Tiberius]

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?

It depends. VPNs have different rules, some may collect data, some may not. I do not believe this law affects VPN providers, but they may be able to sell your data anyway. I would research VPN providers who do not keep logs (or at least say they don't). Private Internet Access has a court document that states they don't keep logs, which is helpful because it validated what they were saying.

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.

Google, FB, Amazon, etc will still collect your data, but only when you are using their sites. If you are logged out, they will collect limited data, and especially if you are using a VPN, there might not be an easy way for them to tie you to your account.

Really the main use of a VPN (in this sense) is to hide your IP address from your ISP.
