My apologies, I did read the article and then commented. The author is obviously privacy focused and is writing for a similar audience. Unfortunately, here in India, things are quite different as there are very few legal measures to protect privacy and there is a general lack of awareness regarding why digital privacy actually matters. Things are so bad at some places that even local ISPs (even with no BGP AS) are able to collect data, and sell it to markets in gaffar for as low as 2 USD (for instance a list of 25K users with their browsing habits). A small, cottage industry of data mining and selling operates with zero implications and even the cops can't do anything about it as they are brutally unaware about the privacy laws and shrug it off. I have my own VPN setup (openVPN to tinc mesh over scaleway/hetzner) for my general surfing and have configured it for my whole family through a raspberry pi as well. But again, the when the smallest of enterprises can operate with zero ramifications for mining, there is little you can do en masse without the backings of an informed government.
