VPNs protect your from geting caught torrenting, but it cant protect you from the US-goverment.
First of all most of the advertized VPN’s are Honeypots and/or back/bugdoored by the NSA.
And even if they where not…so much of the internet runs on servers/services/isp’s that are related to american companys that Timing attacks are possibe (for example your ISP logs and shared your encrypted traffic and the NSA then compares Timing patterns of requests with other services).
hypno memeorys got trigger activated lol
i am quite sure such programs allready exists for a long time.
everything you do on servers owned by american companys will get u scored.
the nsa has a folder for allmost every human who ever used the internet, and doing certain things will rank u up in score.
Once your score reaches a critical high, human may check your folder to see if u are just a courios child searching for diy fireworks or a potential terrorist.
If that human sees the remote chance that u are the second type, they then keep close taps on you.
And if they see u buying sketchy shit then may come to your door to check up on you.
Google once had the motto: “dont be evil”.
People need to realize…they where not talking about themself.
I mean what makes u think that proton isnt just another NSA operation.
