VPNs made billions on false promises of privacy, they don't eliminate surveillance, just relocate it. @wyden.senate.gov asks NSA why this matters. Tor VPN is unique in this space because it routes apps over distinct, multi-hop @torproject.org circuits. www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

tl;dr: Federal agents are still doing raids and traffic stops all over the country while doing anonymous interviews about how they've switched to making arrests from jail. Arrest numbers are breaking records. They keep killing people and doing everything they can to scare observers into silence.

Your data is everywhere. The government is buying it without a warrant
Data brokers buy up huge amounts of information from cell phones and browsers to sell for targeted advertising. But the government, including ICE, also buys the data.

This was the beginning of the neo liberal demise the effects of which are still reverberating today. Until the Democrats admit their mistake and reconcile this moment, they will continue to fail.
