A VPN company says the Pentagon's own line proves there's no privacy left (mullvad.net)
Mullvad lays out the scoreboard: Britain's Tempora processed 600 million telephone events a day across 200 fiber cables; China holds half the world's surveillance cameras; the US runs PRISM, XKeyscore and Section 702. The twist is the framing: democracies just do it quietly while authoritarians do it openly.
The sharpest pushback came from the thread, not the article. A VPN essay warning about surveillance is itself a sales pitch, several noted, and one engineer with 21k karma argued the real lie is calling ad-tech tracking merely 'commercial.'
