Which ISPs Are Spying On You?

Posted by kdawson on from the what-do-they-keep-and-how-long-do-they-keep-it dept.

firesquirt sends us an article from Wired about a survey they conducted to determine major ISPs' data retention and other privacy practices. Over a period of two months, four national ISPs would not give Wired the time of day; and another four answered some of their questions in a fashion not altogether reassuring.

    Although not an ISP per se, my offsite backup provider publishes a warrant canary:

    In addition to a stated policy of "No data or meta-data concerning the behavior of our customers or filesystem contents will ever be divulged to any law enforcement agency without order served directly by a US court having jurisdiction. All such orders will be reported to our entire customer base."

    You should read their philosophy page.
