Thank You Lori.
As this new legislation becomes law will Hughes notify all subscribers if there is a change in the Subscriber Agreement or other policy changes in regards to this subject prior to any implementation?

I sure hope so because if they fold, you champions will have a lot of work to do teaching us dummies how to protect ourselves using things like tor, opendns, https everywhere, etc. :smileylol:
Well, this Shill (formerly known as a Champ) is looking at the VPN settings in my Asus router:
Like I said, VPN wouldn't do much if Hughesnet decided to go the route of selling browsing data. It certainly wouldn't stop third parties from collecting and selling such data, and you can bet any VPN you go through will easily sell such data. BTW, if going through a VPN, whoever you do, make sure they are trust worthy, wouldn't be hard for them to jack information and use it...
TOR is not a wise decision either, highly insecure and anyone can view the data going over a TOR network.

They usually send an email. ETA: At least they have in the past.
Thank You Lori. I agree, if the policy regarding browsing history is released to commercial interests, we should be sent a ntifiication. I would hope other requests for our history say from the NSA, or other authorities, we also should be notified.
We all can hope Hughes lives up to their agreement with the subscribers, whether selling, or sharing actually happens, could occur easily with out our knowledge. Hughes holds all the cards.
Unlikely they will notify users should any government agency request information, as investigations tend to require secrecy to a certain point...
