>Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Marco Rubio (R-Texas) have signed a joint letter to Christopher Krebs, the director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). They’re urging an investigation into whether such VPNs present a risk to homeland security – the concern is that the services are logging web browsing data and sending it directly to Chinese and Russian intelligence.
Imagine being in the land of the free.

>Amerisharts banning VPNs
>Australiashitskins banning encryption
>Eurosubhumans get literally arrested for saying racist things online
wew, this is one of those times when I'm extremely glad to live in an irrelevant asian shithole.
What's next? HTTPS banned for our safety? ROT13 replaces all hashing functions? Only government approved websites allowed?
It's just the same web browsing data that the US is collecting, so what could the concern be?
>for federal workers
in other words they want to ban government employees from using foreign VPNs on government computers. Nothing would stop them from using VPNs, foreign-owned or otherwise, on their private computers. If they're handling sensitive government data on their private machine, well that's already verboten.
I wanna fugg the tomato
when can we have a revolt to replace government with ai and blockchain
They are possibly not wrong.
But I'm pretty sure they profoundly won't respect the golden or platinum rule even if they figure out something is wrong here.
I was never a fan of cyberpunk, but these countries seem really committed to making it a reality.
>the citizens put these leaders in power to fuck them up
>the same citizens get pissed when the leaders fuck them in the ass
Western society really has no sense of responsibility and blame others for their fault. While it is true your leaders are fucking you they wouldn't be where they are if the citizens had listen to the founding fathers and kept the leaders in check, but instead they're in a situation where the people fear the government and not the other way around. No one should feel sorry and have pity for you

>Marco Rubio (R-Texas)
Shit tier journalist can't even get basic Google search info right lmao
Also, this is more serious since what you posted only applies to government computers.

Bull fucking shit
I always wonder when they as OUR employees are giving us complete insight into their communications and stuff on all devices and paper, and especially finances, personal contacts and and decision making process reasoning. They are job-related, we as employers need to know, right?
Usually makes them rather staunch proponents of privacy rather than transparency and crime prevention, though.
Rubio is from Florida, you faggot
>t. chinese cyberops intelligence agent
Unfortunately the average person is retarded and easily placated by the endless forms of readily available entertainment.
Not to mention the insane amounts of misdirection from every level of powe, from the very top to the media and even friends and family. Politicians are easily corruptible and most countries have devolved to a two party state, each party blinded by their ideologies.
>Western society really has no sense of responsibility and blame others for their fault.
It is in human nature to blame others for your faults. It has nothing to do with "westrn" society.
The sad thing this was predicted by these guys right down to the T and everything in their book is happening. And the worse part is that people(especially the left) think those books were guides and not warnings.
The Japanese seem to not have that blame others mentality.
> most countries have devolved to a two party state
There are a bunch of nations with mainly one party [~= x parties that are all almost the same in an overwhelming group]. USA, Russia, China, and so on.
But there are actually also quite a lot of nations and unions with many parties.
>sending it directly to Chinese and Russian intelligence.
and not to US
In Australia for example they want to implement a anti corruption watchdog that inspect government departments that has top level access and can investigate anyone, except there's a special amendment in the act that forbids investigations into politicians.
Just like how the government mandates saving the metadata of all IP packets, except politicians.
>ron wyden is smart!!! he cares about net neutrality!
lmao
>the united states government is biased towards itself
Bravo Jow Forums you've figured it out.
>replace government with ai and blockchain
utopiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Nobody needs a VPN so they should be banned because only criminals who have something to hide use them.
>preventing federal workers from routing potentially sensitive traffic through untrusted foreign servers
How is this bad?
>federal agencies want to control the network configuration of their own devices
>idiots:
Stop playing farmville and finalize the pay period, Sarah.
Everybody now knows that Fedgov workers are gold bricking shitbags who were actually responsible for a lot of political shilling during their “work” hours.
