SECURITY WARNING

Top VPNs secretly owned by Chinese firms
by Warwick Ashford, Senior analyst Computer Weekly
Published: 03 Jul 2019

Nearly a third of top VPNs are secretly owned by Chinese companies, while other owners are based in countries with weak or no privacy laws, potentially putting users at risk, security researchers warn

“Many VPN users would be shocked to know that data held on them could be legally requested by governments in countries such as China and Pakistan.

“Our recommendation is that people do a lot of due diligence on the VPN that they want to use, since they aren’t all created equal and simply using a VPN does not guarantee privacy or security.”

Did a Website Steal Your Content?
"How to Halt the Unauthorized Online Use of Your Copyrighted Material
By Richard Stim, Attorney"

"What should you do if you notice your copyrighted work on a website? Filing a Notice of Claimed Infringement can easily be accomplished by any copyright owner. Indeed, you do not necessarily need to hire an attorney to send it for you. Avoiding a lawyer can save money and time, and there is no legal requirement that you use an attorney. Having said that, an attorney's advice can be helpful, and moreover, ISPs may be more fearful of a notice from a law firm, and thus more likely to act upon your notice."

The DMCA sets up a procedure by which an unhappy copyright owner can seek to have an ISP remove infringing works under its “notice and takedown” procedure.

What Is “Five Eyes” Surveillance? VPN Users, Beware!
Dan Price September 28, 2018
https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/five-eyes-surveillance/

If you’ve ever used a VPN, or are concerned about online privacy, you’ve probably stumbled across references to “Five Eyes,” “Nine Eyes,” and “14 Eyes.”

But what exactly do these surveillance alliances do? And can they affect the security of your VPN service?

Five Eyes has given birth to many of the most notable privacy scandals in recent years, including PRISM, XKeyscore, and Tempora.

Today, its powers are scarily wide-ranging. According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the five governments can force any “communications service provider” (including ISPs, social media platforms, email providers, cell phone networks, and more) to:
Insert malware on its users’ devices. Ignore existing laws in pursuit of Five Eyes directives. Interfere with people’s user experience.
. Provide governments with new product designs in
advance. Provide user information as requested in secret warrants.

Is Security Your Main Priority?
If security is your main priority, you shouldn’t use a VPN that’s domiciled in one of the Five, Nine, or 14 Eyes countries. Nor should you connect to servers in one of those countries using a VPN provider from a non-14 Eyes member.

TOTAL TOURISM BOYCOTT
The best way ti fight the unjust invasions of privacy is to launch a total tourism boycott of these countries.POR

If you think VPNs protect you from government surveillance, you may be mistaken. It actually depends on where your VPN is hosted.
