Protip: do not trust any privacy/anonymity product or service unless the people behind it are explicitly, vocally antifascist.

If they just use vague language about freedom and privacy, and are ambiguous/ambivalent about what the intended purpose is, they're cryptofash.

A study from the Berlin Senate showed that highway lights have no measurable influence on collision statistics. After this result, and further improvement of retroreflectors and other markings, the Berlin highway lighting wil be almost entirely extinguished step-by-step during 2025: https://viz.berlin.de/aktuelle-meldungen/beleuchtung-auf-den-stadtautobahnen-wird-abgeschaltet/

Belgium also turned off a huge fraction of its highway lighting two years ago without incident.
