Yes, but with hundreds of millions of people online, they still need ways to cut and sift the data as they identify... well the "demographics" they want. So using a VPN might make you stand out as more technologically included, or more likely to be hiding something. Either way things they might like to know as they build profiles on all Americans. I'm surprised they're not just buying the data but it's nice that our taxpayers are footing the bill either way for this little service.
