China Is Reportedly Blocking WhatsApp In A Move To Step Up Surveillance

Description

The move comes just weeks before the start of the Communist Party's gathering next month, where the new party leader — and, by extension, the country's ruler — will be announced. The Chinese government had already disrupted video calls and file sharing throughout the summer, as the encryption method used for both relies on fairly standard data transfer protocols. Chinese users, in turn, are moving towards WeChat, the app developed by Chinese software giant Tencent. Brought to you by Vodafone @magio 1/3 1/ Is your business keeping up with the market?

  • Using A Free VPN? Remember, You Get What You Pay For

    People use Virtual Private Networks to keep their data private and secure, as VPNs cloak your IP address and encrypt your internet traffic activity. VPNs also get around geoblocking, a classic example being to access Netflix libraries from different countries. In fact, a recent survey showed 68% of US internet users use VPNs. Of those, 29% used free VPNs rather than paid services. But according to Business Insider, free VPNs come with privacy risks such as increased data harvesting, shoddy security, and suspicious ownership. Remember: If the product is 'free,' then you're probably the product. Your data is being harvested and sold by the VPN provider. Your security is at risk. The provider isn't making money off you, so why should it spend money protecting you? Finally, many of the most popular free VPNs have some form of Chinese ownership. VPNs are illegal in China, so who's running your VPN--and why?
