Emerging story

Social media posts are circulating particularly from Saudi Arabia that claim VPN is a "dangerous technology" disguised as a privacy tool. The images accompanying the claim share six points on how VPN applications breach privacy. The complaint adds that it is illogical for VPN to be free; therefore, it tracks and sells users' data. Moreover, 80% of VPNs access sensitive information such as user accounts and text messages. It also mentions legal prosecutions and how many countries are aware of the dangers of using these programs and are not lenient with those who misuse them.
