The UK government could announce restrictions on VPNs next month.

This would threaten our privacy and security.

VPNs keep young people safe from harassment. Businesses secure. Journalists, activists and whistleblowers protected.

Here's why we must 🧵

      Signal warns the plan risks normalizing client-side surveillance and weakening private communication protections under encrypted messaging systems. 🔐

          What's with the uptick in overly friendly Mastodon accounts that quickly want to pivot to Telegram? They all seem to follow the same script looking for Johns to sell services to.

          Needless to say, I politely decline.

          If they were legitimate they'd be on OnlyFans or one of its competitors not pinging random accounts here.

          This is good fodder for my cyber security and scam awareness presentations, but economically I don't see how we are worth the effort. Has the Fediverse grown that much?

          I'd like to understand how these groups are organized and operate from the inside, to get a fuller picture of what's happening here. Are there any YouTube interviews or podcasts that cover this?

              🚨 First the social media ban, now the UK government wants to restrict VPNs 🚨

              VPNs are a vital cybersecurity tool for businesses, politicians, journalists and families to protect data and communications.

              Banning or requiring digital ID checks before buying VPNs would increase cybercrime risks and expose IP addresses to predators.
