‼️ ICYMI: Amazon Ring announced a partnership with the notorious surveillance tech company Flock, which was recently exposed for secretly sharing camera data w/ ICE & law enforcement investigating people who travel for abortion care.

Today’s the VPN defense day of action! Our Campaigns + Communications Director Lia Holland tells @TechRadar “ it’s important to make lawmakers aware that, if they come for this technology, they're gonna be facing an uphill battle against the whole internet." ✊
Many politicians are scheming to lock down the Internet + increasingly turning their attention to VPNs, considering banning them. This will be disastrous for many people, especially those living under authoritarian regimes. We're asking you to join us and make a stink about this before they go on the VPN attack for real.
