Well, let’s be honest — users of VPNs regularly don’t know what they are doing, too. Can’t count how often I‘ve heard otherwise technologically literate people

Well, let’s be honest — users of VPNs regularly don’t know what they are doing, too.
Can’t count how often I‘ve heard otherwise technologically literate people saying how they use a VPN (NordVPN e.a.) because „something something security“.
- nijave 11mo agoIrony being trusting random VPN providers and arbitrary foreign (exit) countries potentially makes security _worse_ than without the VPN
- stavros 11mo agoSure, but the laws weren't supposed to make you more secure, they were supposed to make "kids safer".
- raw_anon_1111 11mo agoI would trust a foreign country with my data much more than I would trust the US. A foreign country can’t do me nearly as much harm as the US can as a US citizen.
- autoexec 11mo agoNo surprise, "Something something security" is the exact promise of many youtube ads, often spoken by people who know better.
