Because my government passed a legislation that forces all ISPs to collect all metadata and to store them and this information is accessible to be searched by multitude of government departments without a warrant. I am, in principle against this policy. When it was proposed, I tried activism and letter writing and meeting with Senate staffers to try and fight it. I lost, it became law with bipartisan support from both major parties here. So now I use a VPN. You find my usecase baffling?
