Can My ISP Monitor My Internet Connection?

✴️ Your ISP controls your internet connection, and it's easy for them to monitor the data you send and receive. The question is, why would anyone monitor your internet?

✴️ Monitoring your internet connection
Employees at ISPs technically have the ability to monitor your online activity, but it’s unlikely they would without a reason. To further protect your privacy a VPN is a common recommendation. Using a VPN transfers the visibility of your activities from your ISP to the VPN provider, giving them the same access as your ISP. Governments may require ISPs to log user data, but the specifics vary and can change frequently. Most folks need not take protective measures.
