Answer 2

Your ISP does not keeps a personal profile of your surfing habits.These are all just paraniod delusions.Your IP address is assigned and leased via DHCP and is constantly changing .Service providers do not have the time or resources to track millions of users surf habits nor do they have the right to devulge that information to the authoritise.At least thats how it works in Canada . In the USA the FBI and CIA are tracking hits to certain web sites like Terrorist and Hate sites.They trace your IP back to your MAC address and then to your door. Thats how they get the kiddie porn people and so forth. They also listen in on chat sites for certain key words (they use bots for this) Its true there are people out there watching but your ISP will only watch how much traffic goes in and out of your connection and how much email.They watch for spammers and people who might be serving and using to much bandwidth.They niether legislate or report on your morality or surf habits.

there is no privacy on computer period...everything u do everywhere u go anything u look at or download ur ISP...Yahoo knows exactly where u go and what u do if u keep up with the news yahoo logs were instrumental in putting ppl in prison for voicing there freedom against a government ...Msn is the same way also AOL.....the FBI homeland security and other government agencies know who u r and where and what u do on ur computer...u can erase everything off ur computer ...but this is false security...because the Internet provider gets u at the first key stroke....no matter what program u purchase to keep ppl from seeing what u do ....ur ISP is so sophisticated that they can go around ur program and snatch u up and send folks to ur house and get ur computer and throw ur butt in the clink....So for others whom is reading this ...BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING U

I don't think so... If he has to maintain all the records it is not possible. It is like he can trace out the websites browsed but, not that he saves the infomration.
