How to fight the surveillance economy

Start using additional tools that are designed to help you protect your privacy
To prevent your ISP, and subsequently, data buying companies from having logs on your internet activities, pick a VPN provider that cares about your privacy and pledges not to support surveillance economy companies (disclaimer: as stated before, I work for IVPN). Reward companies taking a stand and refusing to feed the surveillance economy with either data, ad money, or both
See who is giving your behavioral data to third parties by looking at the tracker list of Privacy Badger when visiting their site. This is even true for a company offering a privacy protecting service — here I’m looking at this problem from IVPN’s perspective — as most of our competitors won’t get on board with these guidelines, giving them a clear advantage in raising brand awareness and acquiring customers on false promises using surveillance data.
