Brazil directs VPN apps to be removed from appstores


"Justice Moraes issued multiple orders on Friday. In the first, he also ordered Apple and Google to prevent downloads of X as well as popular VPN apps." NYTimes

This little nugget is the more relevant and dangerous action to come out of the Brazil-v-Twitter spat going on right now - the Brazilian judge has ordered the major appstores to remove VPN products

This is a direct attack on digital privacy & security for all Brazilians

VPNs are one of those basic tools that everyone should be using to assist their privacy; removing access to these tools is a clear and repressive action from the Brazilian regime

Do not make the mistake of thinking that other nation states are not watching this action closely to determine how easy it will be to add that particular action to their arsenal for <reason> in the future
