The USA is a fascist dictatorship!

Trump hates this plan

The phenomenon of extracting information and samples from less-resourced populations and failing to credit and compensate them for their contributions to medical developments is well known enough to have several names, including “parachute science.” Just a few years ago, countries, including some in Africa, hosted COVID-19 vaccine trials, only to later struggle to access the shots they helped to develop.

There’s a massive push by the elites to limit the freedom of everyday people while climate change and wars continue to grow.

They need to establish control to reassure themselves from facing the consequences of the problems they have caused.

Mullvad co-owner donates to a fascist party then Proton launches this great service

She has mentioned fediverse alternatives on stream

Because a VPN encrypts your internet traffic and spoofs your IP address, it can easily make you appear as though you are browsing from a different country, bypassing local geoblocks and age gates. That’s exactly why VPN downloads skyrocketed after Australia enforced mandatory age verification for adult content last March.

Recent analysis of Australia’s age verification rules suggests that trying to plug these “loopholes” could severely compromise the digital safety of the broader population. In fact, some experts argue that demanding that platforms actively block VPN connections sets a dangerous precedent for civil liberties.

As the EU launches its own age verification initiatives, regulators are increasingly signaling that VPNs might be next in line for restrictions. Similarly, the shifting_role of VPNs in the UK has prompted rigorous discussions about whether incoming social media bans could lead to VPN restrictions.

Whether everyday Australians will still be able to freely protect their data on public Wi-Fi without being blocked from their favorite sites remains to be seen

It was always about censorship and surveillance not about “protecting children”

Non-technical people need to be lectured about properly addressing this issue before the age verification scourge gobbles up all the world’s jurisdictions as 60% of Americans have the false belief that “age verification is the only way to protect children from social media platforms.” according to PewResearch.

I have read so much into Mullvad thinking that I did my due research however companies can hide their skeletons pretty well before they surface.

Remigration - A term white nationalist organizations use for mass deportations, usually of non-white immigrants.

Research by the Citizen Lab and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) on Bill C-22 and on its predecessor Bill C-2, the Strong Borders Act, which contained the same provisions concerning foreign data sharing, indicates the current legislation might quietly pave the way to giving U.S. law enforcement unprecedented access to personal data stored in Canada, even if held by Canadian companies

One is a potential agreement under the U.S. CLOUD Act, whichwould allow U.S. law enforcement to request personal data directly from Canadian technology companies, bypassing authorization by Canadian courts. This would have detrimental impacts on human rights, in particular, privacy, equality and free expression, while potentially leading to subordination of Canadian constitutional law to the U.S.’s lower legal standards.

At the outset, U.S. government actors face many fewer constraints than their Canadian counterparts on their ability to collect and use personal data in ways that may be illegal, unconstitutional or would violate human-rights laws in Canada.

while any CLOUD Act agreement might restrict the U.S. to targeting only U.S. citizens and residents, Canadian data might still be incidentally collected – for example, a Canadian user’s texts or private messages with someone investigated or charged in the U.S.

Or, if U.S. law enforcement issued to a Canadian service provider a keyword or geofence “reverse warrant” — where the request is for a list of all individuals who searched certain terms or all individuals who were at a specific location at a given time — it could also capture large swaths of personal data that is Canadian, even if the targeted person is not.

Second, invasive surveillance practices normalized in the U.S., such as a higher likelihood of being forced to turn over one’s social media history, can impact those trying to cross the Canada-U.S. border.

If there is already little to stop U.S. law enforcement from seizing people in Canada or demanding private details about those living in Canada with no substantial ties to the U.S., we should at least not encourage or sanction this level of encroachment within our own laws as well.
