They can't. I can easily use a Brazil endpoint to establish a tunnel elsewhere and browse X, formerly Twitter. I suppose they could try fining the VPN service provider. (But even then they won't be able to prove what's going on.)
- nomdep 2y agoThe logical next step would be putting you under investigation for using a VPN “because only criminals need privacy”
- declan_roberts 2y agoGetting really close to that
- artificialprint 2y agoCan't you just ban public VPN services in the country? China has nailed it.
- Cyph0n 2y agoChina has nailed DPI-based techniques, and I am certain they’re exporting/selling the tech to other nations.
- declan_roberts 2y agoWhat if you're a public figure, maybe one critical of the government and you're still tweeting while in Brazil? Seems pretty easy to enforce to me regardless of the technical ways people circumvent it.
- btilly 2y agoIt would be amusing if the government tried to introduce that as evidence and then got countersued for having used X themselves. I know, I know. There is probably some exemption for law enforcement. Or if that was overlooked, there will be soon. But it was still an amusing thought.
