A VPN can be a useful tool for anonymous browsing, but this protection relies completely on trusting the VPN provider. While your ISP may not be able to see your activity, the VPN provider might. There are countless examples of providers logging user activity. #DataPrivacyWeek

- ONE FLAG - All it takes to be almost completely de-banked in the UK. Without decentralised, alternative financial systems like #Bitcoin, people like Rebecca Tidy would have almost no way to hold money electronically, or make payments online.

This journalist has been in a London prison for almost five years for exposing state criminality. If the UK sends to the country he exposed he will die in a US prison cell. This week the UK will decide. It’s now or never. Defend Assange. His life and the future of journalism

Unpopular but true: Bitcoin is the most significant monetary advance since the creation of coinage. If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

Does make you wonder how and where they were storing them before 🤔 If they’re only moving them to cold storage now - and they weren’t in cold storage before - that would infer they were either in a hot wallet or a centralised exchange 😱

This is insane. Looks like Facebook did a man-in-the-middle attack using their VPN service to steal data from other apps. This enabled them to see all SSL traffic, by creating a fake digital certificate to impersonate Snapchat, YouTube, Amazon etc. Seriously?

In my opinion, TikTok should not be banned in the USA, even though such a ban may benefit the 𝕏 platform. Doing so would be contrary to freedom of speech and expression. It is not what America stands for.

The excess government spending is what causes inflation! ALL government spending is taxation. This is a very important concept to appreciate. It is either direct taxation, like income tax, or indirect via inflation due to increasing the money supply.
