Description

What does online privacy mean to you?
Maybe it's securing your online messages away from prying eyes. Maybe it's keeping your browsing behavior hidden from advertisers. Or maybe it's, like for many people today, using a VPN to hide your activity from your Internet Service Provider.
But because online privacy can mean so many things, that also means it includes so much more than just using a VPN.
Today, we speak to The Tor Project Executive Director Isabella Bagueros about what other types of online tracking users are vulnerable to, even if they're using a VPN, how else users can stay private online without becoming overwhelmed, and why users should be careful about trusting any one, single VPN.
