In part 2 of this 3 part interview, Charlene interviews the Google Whistleblower - Zach Vorhies - about Google and Big Tech and their attack on our freedoms and assault on the truth.
Because of Zach, we now have proof that Google has been hiding the truth about cancer and vaccines and so much more from us in their search results. What can we do about this? Join Zach and Charlene and learn more!

Global VPN Use Is Booming But So Is Cyber-Censorship
- Author Joanne Jordan
Net-savvy
users consider VPNs a necessity these days. Can you afford to connect
to the internet without using a Virtual Private Network? In restrictive
countries like Russia, the UAE, and China the government imposes bans on
certain types of content which they deem subversive or not in the
nation's interest. Whether you're there for business or pleasure, in
both cases you may experience difficulties accessing a staggering number
of websites. VoIP services like Skype and WhatsApp are blocked, along
with gambling sites, Netflix US, Twitter, Instagram, Xing, and Wikipedia
pages, to name but a few. There are numerous reasons why netizens have
started to use VPNs. The most basic thing a VPN does is that it protects
your system from spam, malware, viruses, and other digital threats. In
addition to that
As VPN use expands around the globe, governments have started to realize that this technology aims to impede control over their citizens. China alone cannot be blamed for a ‘Rise of Digital Authoritarianism’: according to a report by the nonprofit group Freedom House (which surveyed over sixty countries), roughly 40 percent of those nations experienced crackdowns on digital freedoms. But even with the deterioration of internet freedom suffered in countries like Cambodia, Kenya, Nigeria, Egypt, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and Venezuela, the report found that with its 'Great Firewall' model of digital control, "China reached new extremes with the implementation of extensive Cybersecurity Laws and upgraded surveillance technology." - Usually, a government will only ban foreign VPN service providers as they typically do not conform to the prevailing law of that nation. They generally allow local VPN providers to function and provide their services. However, local VPNs cannot offer the same quality and level of security as international providers and more often than not will monitor the internet activity of their clients.
How to use VPNs to keep yourself safe online
Let's take China as an example which has threatened to ban all VPNs back in 2018 and has already clamped down on services such as Dropbox, Gmail, Facebook, and YouTube. There are just a few VPN companies that are able to bypass this ban. If you enter China, you may not be able to access any VPN sites there. The best thing to do is to have a VPN pre-installed before you cross the border. While governments try to keep people from using VPNs, tech-savvy users come up with ways to bypass restrictions and stay connected. If you live in a country where it’s legal to use a VPN, make sure you compare some well-reviewed VPNs and get the best one. While there are free VPNs out there, it’s hard to trust them. Most free VPNs either provide low service quality or keep track of your data.
Reasons why using free proxies is a bad idea.
As with free VPNs, the operators of an open proxy web server need to recover their costs. They can do this by injecting ads into your traffic or by selling your data to advertisers. Either way, there is no incentive for online proxy sites to keep your browsing fast, secure, and anonymous. A VPN server needs more permissions on the local device than a simple web proxy and as a result, usually requires users to install a separate app. However, to use a proxy, every single application might need to be configured separately, and changing the desired proxy server location might require a complete reconfiguration. Not all proxy servers are malicious by nature, but it can be tough to separate the dangerous from the harmless.
There is a reason why cybersecurity experts recommend using only trusted proxies with reliable 'no logging' policies. This means that the company does not observe or record your online activity. At the same time, it will not access your device or record any device particulars. We all need to be more conscious of our online footprints. From casual internet user to business executive, a VPN can make a tremendous difference when it comes to online safety. Make sure you stay protected and secure across all of your devices.

VPNs provide a certain level of anonymity. The user can exercise
their inalienable right to voice an opinion without dreading a backlash
from government agencies or corporations. Secure servers keep
communication private.
-
Instead of your own unique identifier, the IP address of the VPN
server is provided. This prevents websites and applications from knowing
your geographic location and from sending you targeted advertisements.
-
VPNs protect the identity of the user and prohibit unauthorized access to the user’s personal information and transactions.
-
VPNs hide sensitive data like bank details, passwords, and credit card numbers.
-
VPNs provide companies a secure network which can be used by all employees.
