BSNL is inserting ads in websites, sending their users to malware sites through malware code injection

Interesting, NextDNS looks pretty decent. Will try it out. (y)
 
@varkey @vignesh_venkatesan @Sushubh Do you guys think that bsnl also spying on user data like Reliance Jio? Is bsnl interest to know, what we are browsing and doing? Is bsnl also using deep inspection only for spying or only private companies do this?
Or bsnl just don't care at all?

[But i am now start getting doubt on their intentions because of their cheap tactics of adware injection].

honestly, initially i thought it was a rogue employee at bsnl who was doing it. but people have filed RTIs and it is pretty much confirmed that they are doing it by choice. they do not see this as something wrong. they have indicated in the past that customers can opt-out by filing a request. but overall, it is a shitty thing they are doing. and it seems to be purely focused on generating revenues at the cost of their paying customers. http traffic is of very little value to them anyways because the number of http domains one would be visiting these days is pretty small.
 
@Sushubh can bsnl also compromise our privacy by deep packet inspection or by other methods of spying on users data if they want other than just generating revenue by these injected ads?
 

they already can log every http and even https domain (https leaks domain name not entire urls unless you are accessing the site using ESNI) you visit without any deep inspection. as long as you are connecting directly.

i personally have no clue what they would do with this data though. the useful data is mostly hidden behind https.
