One would hope that there's a notice to that effect, when users attempt to access their works.

It does seem that way. Maybe not screenshots, but very often screen monitoring. And network MitM and logging, of course. However, many firms provide WiFi APs for visitors and consultants, and employees can use them for their personal device

With some effort, someone could document which megachurches are holding meatspace services. They could perhaps even do a prospective matched control study.

It'd be cool to know what Saudis generally believe about their government's surveillance policies. Anyone have any links?

This might just be a transient anomaly, perhaps exacerbated by insufficient testing. But if it's a real difference, the possibility of genetic resistance ought to be explored. It's not that it would likely make any practical diffe

OK, so I'm not Saudi, and perhaps I'm way off base here. But I find it hard to imagine that Saudis -- or at least Saudis who'd be traveling in the US -- wouldn't assume that their government is tracking and monitoring th

Could they have provided protection from other predators? Edit: That was a straight question!

This is rather a "man bites dog" title ;) Edit: It's also hardly worth reporting, or at least, with the sense of outrage that I get from it. I mean, anyone who cared would realize that the Saudis would track and snoop on cell

Well, there's steganography. And as I said, I'd just avoid services that were vulnerable to coercion. If it gets to the point that all ISPs block anything that's encrypted, then most everyone will be screwed. However, that&#x

I'd say that it hasn't been Tor's goal. But blocking has become so common that user pressure to prevent it can no longer be ignored. If they don't act, they risk being replaced. I typically get around it by routing a VPN

A couple decades ago, we owned an 18th century house in the northeastern US, with some 19th century additions. The mortgage and taxes totaled ~$2.5K per month, and oil heating cost peaked at $500 per month in the winter. It had an historic

Doesn't the sex trade count as labor? Also, it's generally parents who provide food for their kids. And if they can't, governments ought to do so. So "sex trade" ought never to be an option. Edit: A boy in my wife&#

I presume that they'd never get reused. And yes, there could be blocking by ranges. And while I doubt that Tor would ever do it, one could use residential IPs via "free" smartphone apps. Some VPN services may be doing that.

Actually, there is a proposal for Tor exits to use a different IPv6 address for each circuit. See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/26646

They're not blocking IVPN either.
