Boris Johnson urges Russians to download VPNs to get round Putin’s censorship of mass killings in Ukraine

  1. Circumventing restrictions is as easy as using a VPN?

    Isn’t this an admission that much of the reasoning behind the Online Safety Bill, is moot?

  2. Funny enough we are going to need one in England soon to see anything that is critical of the government or deemed misinformation, which is any information the government doesn’t want people to know.

  3. Ironically the government have been pushing to undermine trust in end-to-end-encryption in the UK while now advocating for it elsewhere.

  4. There is this illusion that the Russians would be very much against the Ukraine war if they only knew…

    Which is simply not true. Russians are nationalisitic and, as a society, mostly devoid of compassion.

    So if Putin says that in order to save the Ukriane he has to destroy it then the working majority of Russians would stand aside and clap their hands, some would simply not bother and only a minority – the ones that already strife to stay informed – would actually condemn this.

    This is also because the vast majority of Russians simply lack the understanding how that what happens will impact their personal life in the next few months. Many simply state “we will cope, we always did” – well, yes, maybe, but this will be another level of back to the stoneage but in order to believe this they need to see it.

  5. In reality he knows fuck all about hiding your Internet traffic, he’s an idiot repeating some other minister’s idea.

  6. Boris;

    “end to end encryption is great for Russians!…. don’t you even think about it end to end encryption for British citizens is the work of criminals and sex offenders, wont someone think of the children and install back doors in everything!”

    He and his party are utter hypocrites yet that won’t be called out by any media

  7. “And with Surfshark, you can do more than bypass government censorship, you can watch any region’s Netflix and with code BOJO69 you can save up to 83% off on the first three months. Now you too can see the atrocities your country is committing in Ukraine!”
