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.

Very good questions. I may wind up not using the Internet at all. At home I have already kicked Windstream to the curb as my ISP, they are such assholes, their corporate culture and customer service sucks. I make trips to my local library to go online. I miss playing WoW and I mostly use the Internet to check my e-mail and get on FB and vent my frustrations and participate in the AF here. Looks like I may be disappearing from using the Web, unless and until this law is struck down in the Supreme Court or we get a new administration that actually gives a damn about people, this country, and the world. I am losing hope, again. Sad
