why "just use a vpn" misses the point
in response to my last post about the recent online safety act, that has been passed and is slowly being placed into effect.

"Just use a vpn"
Although true that a vpn does get past these restrictions, heres why its misses the point of why these types of legislation are bad.

1. Convenience - This makes staying secure online less convenient which hurts the ability fot secure alternatives to become mainstream.

2. Security - Linking your online activity to your ID can have major consequences in the event of a data breach, which happen a lot, or a subpoena against a company, even if you are not an activist or journalist and just a random joe shmoe, the ability to share information securely and privately protects our most important from our most corrupt.

3. Control - This allows government organizations to have control over the general population, here's some examples;
- Journalist exposing them? Block the post and show propaganda instead.
- Don't like a particular minority? Just filter through all that ID data for them, because it cant be used against you until it is right?

4. Confidence - Allowing this type of legislation with no backslash (no matter how insignificant to the people your confronting) shows other nations and future officials that this type of behavior is okay and the people won't fight you publicly on it.
- This is really important with Australia, the US, the EU and canada pushing for similar legislation

! but "its only on adult sites" !
this is just not true, as per the UK official statement this effects anything from yes adult sites, to popular fourms, to social media, to wikipedia.
places like wikpedia, urban dead and hundreds of local fourm communities are in deep waters or shutdown because of this act.

! this doesn't effect me I use a vpn? !
this does still effect you, unless you want to cut everyone out your life who are not as technologically inclined as you.
Big tech already collects info on you from your friends/family allows it access contacts, or from messaging you on insecure apps, or from posting a picture you all took last week online on an insecure platform.
so whats stops a government or rouge bad actor group from just finding your family's information and using that to find you? Esp my US biggas this is public knowledge I can find in 5 minutes.
you may keep yourself safe, but are the people you communicate with keeping themselves safe?

There is another way of looking at this:

-Using the internet before this legislation and without a VPN renders you as a product whether you like to admit it or not. Search engines are free for a reason. Social media is free for a reason. Reddit is free for a reason. If you are not paying for a product then you are the product. Every single time we accept cookies to browse online we are the product. That is our connected lives. we surrender our private information in the form of metadata every single day of our lives. Its a trade off that we blank our minds to and it has become increasingly insidious as our feeds become doctored to our data.

-If as a result of this legislation you are now using a VPN you have considerably reduced this effect. This is a good thing.

Being connected still comes with risks though and we should do our best to mitigate them and to be alert. But hell, those cat videos are cute though huh?
