Do ISP and library know what we read when we borrow books from platforms, such as Overdrive, with public library accounts? p.s. first post + app glitch can’t enter new line.

Thank you. Although it may be irrelevant, do we need a VPN to avoid interception (what is it?) even if there is HTTPS?
vpn for normal consumers is a dumb pyramid scheme, you can make your privacy much better with less cost with other methods. VPNs are only good if you want to see something unavailable in your country
Allthough not a pro but vpns are mostly mandatory for p2p filesharing as in most countries, downloading can be a problem, but sharing will screw you big time.
So, a vpn secures (ideall) all traffic from your pc to the vpn host. You then use the vpn hosts isp and so on (in a country where your government cant ask for your data ideally).
I‘m not sure how it works for https exactly. What if you download a file, especially.
Have a good one.
