Wait, Facebook is literally pushing a VPN solution that claims to "protect" you?
A VPN that sends all your traffic through facebook's servers
How dumb do they thin... 33 million installs... Okay they might be right about how dumb people are
@troubleMoney they've created a generation of pavlovian end-users who will click whatever's put in front of them
They are more than right, 99.9% of the population on earth have no idea what they are doing with their computer they trust anyone has long has they look good and successful.
@troubleMoney Haha! It's insane, right?! How dafuq are people so gullible?!
@troubleMoney what is your threat model?
that is the question you have to consider.
if facebook is less of a threat than the thing you are VPN-protecting from....

@troubleMoney @fatboy
Sheeple headed for slaughter...
@troubleMoney No, not dumb. That's an ableist way to approach this. Ill-advised and improperly educated about what they should be doing.
I responded to this whole ordeal by speaking out about the truth and offering a legitimate alternative.
@troubleMoney I think a lot of that is when people talk about the concept of safety on the Internet, they are told, "use a VPN" without being explained why, what it does, and what literally defeats its purpose.
