It’s official: Congress has sold you out to Internet service providers, passing a bill that dismantles Internet privacy rules and allows ISPs to sell your web history and other personal information without your permission.

* Use HTTPS Everywhere
* Get a paid virtual private network
* Adjust your DNS (Cloudflare is a public DNS at 1.1.1.1)
