@angusm So uh, without a #VPN, your ISP can potentially view all your web traffic, right?
With a VPN, aren't we just substituting who can potentially view all your web traffic? Instead of the ISP, it's the people at the VPN that can view it?
The "just use a VPN because #privacy" crowd never seems to explain how one would choose a #trustworthy and #secure VPN.

@DanielMReck @angusm Use Tor browser then. It's going to be slow though

@MuhammadFreeSoftware @angusm Slow, yes, and I imagine a lot of the internet blocks Tor nodes just like it blocks VPN nodes, thanks to the unsavory types that likely flood those services alongside all of the legitimate/harmless users.

The UK government's plan to teach 10 million British children how to use VPNs may be one of the most ambitious IT education projects ever launched. Experts have praised the scheme, saying that a deft combination of incentives and peer education make it more likely to succeed than other, comparable initiatives.
"With the rise of autocratic governments worldwide, VPN-literacy is more essential than ever.” said one expert, “This bold project definitely comes at the right time.”
@angusm Pure bollox

This is the best characterization of this I've read. Lovely.

@angusm Just because our government is so questionable at the best of times...
this *is* satire, right?

@akromos @DanielMReck @angusm I used to daily drive Tor. Btw, the internet itself is kind of ARPAnet's successor, so clear web too "was a military project"

Trying to figure out how Keir Starmer's govt will reach 10 million children, to teach them the importance of using VPNs, when it also intends to ban their social media access -- the purpose for much of their use of the Internet -- until they're sixteen.
@huntingdon @angusm that *is* exactly how they will learn to use VPNs.

@angusm First, they ban children from social media, then they teach them workarounds?

@angusm I think they are doing to criminalize what should be a human right, access to the internet. By making it a crime, they can force kids to become criminals and lose some of their freedom and their rights. Get 'em while their young and they might never break free.

Starmers next project, the great british Firewall, inspired by Putins actions, all oversea cables will be cut, starlink usage banned.
What the twits are doing is to allow those who can afford starlink free internet access while restricting and dumbing down the rest of kids and youth.
Let it rain brains in westminster

@angusm Democrats/labour/whatever won't stop until every device is locked down and everyone is registered with Palantir.

@DanielMReck @angusm it depends on why you are using a VPN. If all the traffic over the VPN is encrypted there is little need to trust the VPN. The crucial part for the youth is they won't appear to be in the UK.
Now whether the youth can be bothered to set up fake accounts in some country with a less authoritarian government we will see, but the evidence from Australia suggests a significant number will.

The use of alternative operating systems and social media platforms, without algorithms, will also be on the sylibus.
Projects involving Linux, Graphine OS and Federated social networks are expected before the end of 2026

It is a convergence.
