Yes. Another fear:
Does Tor have the kind of bandwidth that all UK PH users use simultaneously? Tor is likely to be safer and perhaps cheaper than whatever Ofcom approves, and that's where even adult porn users will go if they know about it.
The Register: Do you trust Xi with your ‘private’ browsing data? Apple, Google stores still offer China-based VPNs, report says . “Both Apple’s and Google’s online stores offer free virtual private network (VPN) apps owned by Chinese companies, according to researchers at the Tech Transparency Project, and they don’t make this fact readily known to people downloading the apps.”

Aquí puedes 18 de junio de 2025 Escribe tu opinión: Tu dices
¿Qué hay planeado?
Almacenamiento obligatorio de datos con vínculo de #identidad – así que todo lo que haces en línea debe ser rastreable para ti.
Sanciones para servicios que no incluyen #vigilancia del usuario – incluyendo #VPNs, cosas auto hospedadas o proyectos de código abierto.
Panificación: equipos y software – con fabricantes de hardware se trabajará juntos para permitir el “acceso legal”.
Pequeños proveedores afectados – no es sólo sobre Meta, Google & Co.
Todo el mundo se basa en recomendaciones de Grupo de Alto Nivel ’, cuyos miembros se mantienen completamente secretos. Patrick Breyer (Pirates/MEP) @echo_pbreyer preguntó – la UE le envió una lista debilitada.
Según EDRi, la #sociedadcivil explícitamente excluida. #Lobbyism deluxe.

"With President Donald Trump’s return to the White House and the US government’s digital surveillance machine more powerful than ever, digital privacy should be top of mind. But the digital security world can be confusing—and there’s the larger question of why. You may think, if I’m just a regular person, why is my digital privacy important?
Then there are the practical questions. What’s the best password manager? How can you keep your digital life under wraps at the border? And what kind of VPN should you be using? Is AI scraping my data?
WIRED senior writer and security expert Matt Burgess spoke with readers in a Reddit AMA this month about the basics of keeping your digital footprint locked down. Here’s what to know and why it’s important."

»TTP’s investigation found that one in five of the top 100 free virtual private networks in the U.S. App Store during 2024 were surreptitiously owned by Chinese companies, which are obliged to hand over their users’ browsing data to the Chinese government under the country’s national security laws. Several of the apps traced back to Qihoo 360, a firm declared by the Defense Department to be a “Chinese Military Company."« #vpns
Chinese-Owned #VPNs - https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2025/05/chinese-owned-vpns.html "One one my biggest worries about VPNs is the amount of trust users need to place in them, and how opaque most of them are about who owns them and what sorts of data they retain." #china
There's a reason I tend to think long contracts with #VPN provider are a bad idea and the current machinations in #Switzerland are a perfect illustration.
In a nutshell, #vpns can't promise what they base countries governments will do in the future and that's a big problem when you have atwo year contract.

EU prepares to give new rights to live streaming sites, to the detriment of the Internet and its users
At the heart of Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) lies the dispiriting saga of how the EU Copyright Directive came into being. It began in early 2013 with the usual “stakeholder dialogue”, in which the European Commission sought the views of the various constituencies affected. It generated an unprecedentedly large response that was surprising given the dry and […]
