Is "private browsing" an individual right?

No. In 2017, Congress voted against regulations designed to protect personal privacy online, mainly because the restrictions were too broad.1 Congress argued that these regulations would only result in consumers and large companies losing the right to targeted promotions (basically, ads based on your search history).

As a result of this decision, Internet privacy is no longer guaranteed. If you do not use a VPN, companies can sell your information and browsing patterns to other companies.
