I Am Anonymous When I Use a VPN?

The Myths

Myth #1: I can be anonymous on the Internet
Myth #2: Anonymity and privacy are the same
Myth #3: When my VPN provider advertises an “anonymous” service, that means they don’t log any identifying information about me
Myth #4: When my VPN provider’s privacy policy says they “don’t log,” that means I am anonymous
Myth #5: Even if my VPN provider uses hosted or cloud-based VPN servers I can still be anonymous
Myth #6: Even if my VPN provider doesn’t own and operate the network I can still be anonymous
Myth #7: Any VPN logging is bad
Myth #8: Privacy companies don’t collect or sell my data
Myth #9: All VPN software is the same
Myth #10: Tor is a better alternative than a VPN

Bad news: Android Q root won't come anytime soon. Android Q has switched to logical partitions for the system block, which means there is no easy way to mount the block by any means. I'm currently thinking of what tricks can I do other than implement everything from scratch....

Things are not looking good 😅, even if I could, I might have to create a complete new Magisk just for Android Q. Android Q switched to this stupidly complicated logical device (device-mapper) + overlayfs madness just to support "Previewing GSIs" from data partition.

It will take me an extreme amount of time to figure out how to workaround all this mess. I won't expect Magisk to be even able to boot on Q in months.

After stepping back and taking a breath, I think I'll just have to figure out how to mount logical partitions and things should work. With normal EXT4 Android Q system images, things works just fine as previously demonstrated. Time to read some device-mapper documents...

NSA-Skandal:
The Intercept closes Snowden archive and dismisses employees
The Intercept was founded to prepare the Snowden documents. Then the magazine expanded its focus. The NSA revelations should now be over.

US media company First Look Media closes its Snowden archive and dismisses employees to focus on "other editorial priorities". This reports The Daily Beast, citing an internal email from Michael Bloom, the company's chief executive. eBay's billion-dollar co-founder Pierre Omidyar founded First Look Media in 2013 and recruited Snowden's Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras. They were asked to make the vast treasure trove of data available to the public through The Intercept magazine.

Why in the USA Google and Co. now also advocate a national data protection law

Angered by the Cambridge-Analytica scandal and inspired by Europe, the American Congress takes a fresh look at a data protection law. Technology companies are also lobbying for such a law - for their own reasons.

For a long time the Americans smiled at the Europeans for how sensitive they were when it came to data protection - until an earthquake shook the USA a year ago: the analysis company Cambridge Analytica had gained unnoticed access to the data of 87 million Facebook users and fed Donald Trump's 2016 presidential election campaign with this information. Although Facebook had known about the data abuse for months, it did not inform those affected until the New York Times reported on it in March 2018.
