On Monday, President Donald Trump signed a bill repealing the Federal Communications Commission’s privacy protections for Internet users, removing a policy that was implanted under former President Barack Obama. These rules affected how Internet service providers—better known as ISPs—collect data about their users and what they can do once they have it. This initiative has incited a great deal of outrage—and for good reason—because, while this doesn’t give ISPs carte blanche, there is ongoing concern that your web browsing history can be sold to the highest bidder.

But this practice isn’t entirely new. In fact, it’s something that companies such as Google and Facebook have implemented for years. These powerhouses have been able to do so unchecked since these services aren’t Internet providers, but tools that people sign up for voluntarily, meaning they are only subject to the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines and not the FCC’s. These FTC guidelines will now be the same for both ISPs and Internet companies such as Facebook, though both the FCC and FTC will be able to take action if an ISP commits unjust or unreasonable business practices, per USA Today.

So what does this mean for an average person, and what can be done to add safeguards? Chicago Ideas has collected some of the best tips for those hoping to put a thick layer between themselves and their ISPs. Not only that, we offer solutions from recent Chicago Ideas Conversations on the nature of privacy, and what you can do to put some roadblocks in the way of those angling for your personal information.

Opt-out where you can

An incredibly thorough piece by Business Insider not only breaks down what exactly the administration’s action means for people moving forward, but it also explains which companies allow for people to opt out of sharing their browsing history. In the case of providers such T-Mobile, Charter and in select instances Verizon, people can opt-out of these tracking measures. On the flip side, Sprint asks users to opt-in, meaning that subscribers would have to make the choice to be followed by their phone company. AT&T took it a step further, stating in its privacy policy that it would “not sell your personal information to anyone, for any purpose. Period.”

Enable HTTPS Everywhere

As many websites have pointed out in the wake of this repeal, sites that use the HTTPS prefix instead of the default HTTP block ISPs from viewing your actions once you land on a website. What HTTPS does is create an encryption between the site and a user, so while most ISPs know what sites you visit, the use of an HTTPS ensures that, once you’re there, your actions won’t be tracked. However, only about 10 percent of websites currently run this, but EFF’s HTTPS Everywhere extension is a free plug-in that defaults sites to HTTPS on opening.

Consider a VPN

As Quartz notes, ISPs still know where you’re going even if you’re landing on a site that uses HTTPS, but a Virtual Private Network—or VPN—is widely considered the best way to keep an ISP’s prying eyes off your browsing history. That said, picking a VPN is no easy task, as there are myriad considerations to be made when picking one, so it’s best to brush up on what each one offers before taking the plunge. To put it in no uncertain terms, using a VPN is an extreme step. But for those looking to keep their privacy intact, it’s as airtight of a solution as one can get.

Support statewide initiatives to strengthen Internet privacy

Though these privacy protections have been altered at a federal level, in its wake, certain states have proposed bills to further safeguard their constituents. An Illinois House committee has endorsed two measures, one of which would allow people to find out what information companies like Google and Facebook have collected on them and who that’s been shared with. Support of local actions will often be the most direct way for people to find a governmental safeguard, so calling state representatives is highly encouraged.

Accept that there’s no such thing as privacy online

During Chicago Ideas Week’s 2014 Tech Summit, former Chief Technology Officer for Obama for America, Harper Reed noted that, whether we want to admit it or not, privacy in the Internet isn’t a given. Reed notes that opting-out is borderline impossible, but he acknowledges that it’s not a losing game. In his talk, he calls for people to arm themselves with information and continue to engage in conversation about what privacy means in our modern world.

Go all-in and give up all your information

Hasan Elahi’s “Tracking Transience” project has been ongoing since 2002, after a run-in with law enforcement spurred a lengthy, erroneous investigation into Elahi’s life. After clearing his name, Elahi took to making every piece of data available to the public, allowing people to track his current location, his calendar, and even the meals he’s eaten recently. In his 2016 Edison Talk, Elahi speaks about how thorough people are tracked by their cell phones, with every selfie offering a veritable smorgasbord of data about a person’s whereabouts. Elahi posits that—and though his measure is extreme—to truly disrupt those watching you, the best thing to do is give them exactly what they want. Just make sure it’s overwhelming.
