    ISPs pass on your data to various authorities in quite a lot of countries. My own country (UK) has such a terrible privacy reputation I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find ISP’s hand over data for every request.

      Yep, same here. Its almost trivial for ISPs to hand over data to the govt on any invented basis. They also do so to any business or company that asks for it, but they will charge them fees AKA selling data.

      Worst part is there is no oversight, and there really is no segment of population that cares about privacy to raise this as an issue either.
