Mullvad also pointed to other instances of alleged attempts to “escalate censorship and mass surveillance” in the UK, citing efforts to force Apple to install backdoors in its end-to-end encrypted cloud service, proposals that could introduce “client-side scanning and government spyware on all UK phones”, and government plans to fast-track legislation requiring identity verification for VPN use.
well made
That website broke my computer until I closed the window.
Yeah, YouTube is shit
Nothing RSS and
-dlpcan’t fix…I just use FreeTube, but that works too!
Wasn’t youtube but the website of that organization. I had to hard restart closing the window didn’t help long.
Sounds like a hardware problem. I go on Mullvad’s site all the time and I’ve never had that issue. The only issue I have that with is big tech sites.
Huh, maybe I will try back later and see if it happens again, this is an exceedingly shitty computer admittedly, my better one the keyboard and touchpad stopped working and won’t load the systems restore, idk what happened, it was unconnected to the internet for months but somehow crapped out with no trauma to it.
That’s messed up.
Once again illustrating our leaders and their appointees across the west but especially in the UK and US, think the republic(s) are already dead in all but name, and acquiescing to the demands of the oligarchy over their duty as agents of the state they work for.
This seems like a good issue to attack hard, to organize people around, and force the guy who made this call out of his position, as it’s a corrupt repudiation of the freedoms of the country and spites their long held freedoms of freedom of expression and dissent.
While they need all new leadership, this isn’t a bad place to start, as these attempts to surrender their citizenry to tech need to be stopped by any means.
No and then.
NO AND THEN
Good it should be as what VPNs claim they do is fucking stupid. And if people are dumb enough to think that blocking their IP protects them from tracking then they I don’t know let them spend money on a VPN. I mean tracking IPs hasn’t been reliable in a long time.
VPNs arent a magic bullet like the tech illiterate think, but they are a useful tool like any other and paired with proper digital hygiene go a long way to limit the ability to monitor your activity across the web.
Instead of your ISP seeing every site you go to, a different company sees every site you go to.
VPNs have their uses, but avoiding surveillance is not one of those uses.
I trust my VPN more than I trust my ISP. My VPN is beholden to the fascist Krasnov regime. My VPN is not.
