Correct for the most part brother, I'm on Satellite Internet, changing DNS servers "for me" does cripple most of their data collection.
Twice I have had service calls for issues, and both times the last thing the Tech did before leaving is put the default Addresses back in.

It is naive to think they wait until now to invade you privacy...they did since the first day internet was release to the public...but you didn't know...governments doesn't need your permission, they just do when they want...everything you read or heard is already filtered to make you a docile sheep. You live in a illusion world which sole purpose is to format you to be a good customer and docile slave, and it is may be better for 99% of the population because they won't be able to handle what is behind the curtain...
