I'm one of healthy skepticism, so before someone states, take off the tinfoil hat.
Just read without bias and think and then reply.
A)Facebook and other social media ,as been shown to really be a tool to indoctrinate and push narratives. using pushed stories to your news feed. and with the # of eye balls they reach. can move the goal post to whatever is needed.
B) google a seach engine weaponized to only put the hits they think you should read at the top of the list and bury those they think you should not.
c) news media , same thing.
d) web sites that are used to see if a story is real or not (snopes anyone)
e) find your family roots/tree. send us your DNA and pay for it. to be filed and stored data. sold as family history search use but we all know now also used to allow the government and law inforcement to have your dna. on file that they can search.
F) this VPN. it might hide where your at from those online that you are playing video games with, or the web page you're on, and keep your info out of ad data collection. but why do I get the feeling the dept of homeland sur. and other dept. will be able to search/track and log everything pushed through these VPN's and marketed in a way to even get you to pay for the service. just like the DNA.
That these VPN companies are nothing more than shell companies to get folks to pay for the service of being tracked by your and other government dept's.
The user feels safer as his/her a.p.addy is hidden and stream is bounced around the world to different servers. but. my healthy skepticism is going off that there is more hear than it seems.
Remember grasshopper the one that designed the encription, also can also read everything passed through it/using it.
discuss?
