As censorship on the internet continues to spread and evolve, we are starting to see some bad algorithms and AI dictate how content is shared on the internet. Why is this happening? Well, the internet has grown so large it’s almost impossible to police uploaded content on a wide variety of platforms–which means that companies […]
Every year Russia tries to crack down and cement total internet control. However, it’s proving hard to fill all the cracks as VPN users and proxy users remain anonymous with total internet control. The amount of laws and regulations to restrict internet use is becoming ridiculous. The bottom line is that Russia wants to kill […]
Today marks the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.
