What the Repeal of Online Privacy Protections Means for You

Now that internet providers will not have to get permission to collect and sell customers’ online information, how will that affect privacy online?

"What else can help?
People who are concerned about their privacy might also consider using Tor, a type of software that helps internet users mask their online identities and whereabouts, Ms. Sandvik said.
Tor essentially encrypts your browsing activity and bounces a website request to multiple servers, decrypting layers of information about the request with every server “hop,” which makes it difficult to see from where and whom the original request came.

What are the downsides of VPN and Tor?

Some services might break: for example, Netflix blocks VPN users from accessing its content. And Tor often makes web browsing sluggish.
Ms. Sandvik recommended using a combination of the two whenever it feels necessary — like when you are accessing sensitive information related to your work, for instance."

Be someone else.

It is an experimental platform.

Man Collects $763,000 He Thought Was a Scam

It turns out a South Carolina man was entitled to $763,000 he didn’t know about, the state treasurer said. Could there be a similar payout for you?

There are no surprises for me there.

Man Who Killed Bus Driver With a Stolen Truck Is Found Guilty

A jury convicted Domonic Whilby of aggravated vehicular homicide for crashing a truck into a New York City bus after a night of drinking in 2014, though they rejected murder charges.

Tracking the Yachts and Jets of the Mega-Rich

New technology and websites are making it easier to spot the whereabouts of people like the Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev.

The human bloodhounds are out.
I have no wish to leash them.

The insurance companies may require them.
There is no other authority in international waters.
