Can you see someone's internet history using their MAC address?
So basically my Dad started shutting off the internet on my iPhone until I get my schoolwork done, by doing this he had to use my MAC address and he shuts it off manually through a website. But since he has my MAC address, could he see my internet history on my iphone? I do look up things I wouldn't want him to know about, not porn or anything dirty! But like if I'm ever having a feminine issue I sometimes google it and other stuff he'd find weird and I wouldn't want him to see.

So can he use my MAC address to see my history or no?

He's likely using MAC filtering within the router (not actually a website, it's a "webpage" stored on the router itself) to block you.

But anyway, no. Stuff like that would be organized by IP Address, not MAC Address (albeit your MAC Address and IP tend to be linked for a set period of time, usually in hours or days, afterwards it may change), and you'd need some sort of server or an enterprise router to log all those details. A typical consumer router can't handle that sort of logging.

No, nodda, not gonna happen. That is just a myth and a scare tactic. Nobody can see anything with just a mac address. PS. He simply blacklisted the MAC address via the router, not a website, if you were talking about the wifi at home. If you have a data plan, use that instead, just don't go over the quota, whichever it is.
