We want to hear from you President Donald Trump in April signed legislation to scrap Federal Communications Commission privacy protections. At year-end, internet service providers would have needed customers' consent to sell their browsing history to third parties. Now states are considering their own privacy rules. Minnesota's budget proposal includes a requirement for "express written approval" on data collection. It will be debated later this month. ISPs for their part vow to respect users' privacy, but the LegalMatch Law Blog says the promises are "carefully worded" to exclude sale of aggregate data or internal use of customer activity. All of which brings up the question: How do you guard your personal data? Do you encrypt your internet traffic? Do you take extra steps in communicating with clients, such as using a virtual private network or VPN? Have you tried to opt out of targeted ads on your browser? Let us know in the comments. Yes, you can use an alias. Read the answers to last week's question: Are you able to be tracked electronically? Featured answer: Posted by Tyrone: "I'm waiting for the day they start mailing speeding tickets based on the time and distance between driving under the transponder readers. (And most high-speed readers also scan plates, so even if you don't have a transponder, they have a record anyway.)" | You be the judge Does this lawyer think his witness is all smoke and mirrors?
