I heard discussion of this on the ABC yesterday -ISPs are supposed to be collecting this data now for all users. There seemed to be a strong suggestion we should be using a virtual private network (VPN) to protect our internet usage data from "Big Brother".
Should we be worried about this?
Should we all start using a VPN?
"If you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about". When I hear a politician or official say that I do start to think I might have something to worry about.

Get a VPN and you are sorted. Regardless VPNs are good for cyber security.
