Privacy attacks is a popular topic now. As U.S. Congress allow ISP to share user browsing history, now Australia’s mandatory data retention law is in effect. This is disrespectful for all people. And more important this will increasing the risk of Privacy attacks.
Now we list some Privacy policy in some countries, you can know that Privacy attacks are all around us.
Australia – Data Retention Law Takes Effect
Australia’s mandatory data retention law is now in effect. Internet Service Providers and Telecoms will now be storing customer metadata – including text messages, location information, and internet connection details for a full two years. Government agencies can now request this information without a warrant. The new law has seen Australians scrambling to sign up for a VPN.
USA – Online Browsing History Up For Sale
Since President Trump signed the bill into law repealing FCC online privacy protections for consumers browsing online. The network environment of US becomes bad. As America, they focus on privacy protection. So this law will let them do something like use VPN to protect their personal privacy.
France – Encryption Under Threat
Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen are the final two candidates facing off for the French presidency. Macron in particular is running on a platform with a largely anti-encryption stance, stating he’d force major technology companies to provide encrypted information to authorities when necessary. In essence, requiring a “backdoor” into encrypted communications. He has also now stated that providers might even be seen as complicit in attacks if they refuse to cooperate with decryption practices.
Russia – Yet More Censorship Proposed
Russia’s latest draft bill is proposing banning VPNs that do not comply with censorship rules. The law proposes blocking anonymous proxies – including VPNs – that do not prohibit access to forbidden websites in the country. To operate, any such “anonymizing” services would have to block sites listed on the Roskomnadzor’s black list (Roskomnadzor oversees communications, IT and Telecom in Russia). Services that refuse to comply, meaning they allow their users to access sites on the blacklist, would be banned in Russia as a result.
China– The Censorship Is More Stricter
Now in the world, Chinese is the most part of VPN user, in the article “The status of vpn in China“, you can see the number of vpn user in china reach to 140 million, it is more than any other country. We think the reason is the chinese privacy policy. More you want to block, more vpn user will come out. In China, people offer choose NordVPN, pureVPN(78% discount), ExpressVPN and VyprVPN because they are effective vpn.
VPN is the best way we think can protect our personal data and prevent privacy attacks. It is better than SS,SmartDNS and Proxy. It is the only way to keep us anonymous on the internet.
