The Top 3 Apps in my Country (Venezuela) are all VPNs...
More than "mildly infuriating", this is deeply depressing.
(And seeing TikTok two times there don't make things better...)
You're viewing a single thread.
I wonder if people know why they are downloading and using a VPN. Especially when you're talking about the more sketchy ones.
To avoid region locking. Anything else regarding security is just bogus talk they trying sell you.
Considering that there is a ton of censorship there I think they definitely know why.
Source?
It’s my understanding the issue isn’t Venezuelan officials censoring, so much as other countries blocking access from Venezuelan users.
Ok, tankie. The government is even censoring the Venezuelan Mastodon instance
It is very likely Venezuela censoring.
What are you basing this assumption on?

I don't think anyone actually cares about Venezuela all that much. It is such a small country that it probably isn't even on the radar of the majority of websites.
They care enough to impose illegal sanctions and attempt multiple coups.
Superficially, maybe. But not in depth, like knowing what a VPN actually does and such.
I wonder how much of that 'education' is from ads and influencers constantly pushing VPNs. LOL
Well, you know, no one hears about VPNs in school, so...
