I recently saw that in Brazil, people who use VPNs to access X/Twitter after the ban could apparently be fined. I’m no expert whatsoever, but isn’t the whole point of VPNs to encrypt all of your activity? If so, how would the offenders, so to speak, even be caught and fined??
In: Technology
VPNs are still companies. A Brazil based one may comply with a court order to turn over customer info to the police.
Depending on the local laws (I’m not from Brazil), you can examine the person’s electronics.
VPNs only encrypt the traffic en route and hide the traffic origin and destination if intercepted. They don’t clean your device. It’s not impossible to remove all information about your internet traffic from a device, but it does take some know-how and effort.
Or the person may just confess.
