How would I use twitter if I have to?
How would I listen to state puppets if I have to?
Good thing I don't have to.

Not all of us use Google. Nor Bing for that matter. There are many tools for obfuscation.

Searching and opening up videos seems to be very slow for me. 9 seconds loading the search results and a lot of images return a 503. Clicking on a video page also takes a lot of time to load. The actual video loads fast.

Woops, should be fixed now. Likely got borked when doing some updates. Sorry about that!

The yggdrasil link http://[200:168a:c80a:b258:1dfe:f920:4414:6897]/ does not work as it says Host Unknown, but changing the Host header in the http request to incogtube.com fixes it, so seems to be a configuration error

I'd be fine with VPNs not owned by a shady company.

For getting around geo blocking or downloading torrents, any of the big name VPN should be fine (Express, Nord, PIA). If you need VPN to use in a specific country, maybe ask around the expat sub or forums for that country. But truly anonymous VPN probably don't exist, maybe rent a server somewhere to setup Shadowsock, pay with crypto, then logon to it from public wifi? I don't know if that's secure enough, never really needed that level of anonymity.

Pretty much all the VPN "review" sites are paid. I tried using NordVPN on my trip to China, which all the "review" sites says it'll work, well it didn't. An relatively unknown VPN that I've found actually worked (although slow).

Reply to My employer is forcing everyone to download something called Okta onto their phones. Should I be concerned? : privacy by Rambler
Okta is AAAS (Authentication As A Service). The somewhat valid reason an employer would want this on your phone: security. HOWEVER: Your employer really should not have any control over your phone.

This is Kape, they own PIA VPN, CyberGhost VPN and now Express VPN, these are some the biggest VPN players in the market, millions of users, it starts to look like a monopoly, no matter what brand you go to, it is going to be run by Kape.

Reply to comment by takeheart in Twitter thread where Snowden describes how he would use a smartphone if he had to by ghast
Fair enough, could have used a nitter link. https://nitter.net/Snowden/status/1175419013402374145#m
Guess he could be limited hangout but even controlled op needs to give accurate info to have credibility. This article he links for example can be judged on its merits without necessarily having to trust him. https://www.tjoe.org/pub/direct-radio-introspection/release/2
Only thing that stands out as possibly intentional misdirection is some of the software recommendations.
