    You’ve still got to connect to their servers and they can monitor who connects to what.

    I wouldn’t trust it without a non-US based VPN. We should assume anything in the US is compromised by the fed, and that they are watching.

      They can also not do that.

      International VPNs are not immune from US subpoena.

        And condoms are only 98% effective.

        A condom and VPN work on the same principle: a layer of protection. No protection is ever 100% effective, but you can at least try.

        Remember, they’re already building the camps. It’s only a matter of time before “helping illegals” is a crime that gets you sent to the camps. I’d rather make the fascists work for it at least.

          Your analogy doesn’t make sense. It would be more apt to say “condoms from Walmart can be compromised!” but it makes no sense because they can be compromised anywhere. If you think shopping somewhere else means they won’t be compromised, that’s not logical.

          It’s not to say that you shouldn’t use them, it’s to say that you shouldn’t judge them based on the geographical location they’re acquired.
