Secure Browsing Delusion

Text on the meme

"Insecure" browsing This is horrible! Time to get "privacy" tools to keep my data safe Data collection Influence from Media Internet "Secure" browsing VPN Data collection Influence from Media Internet Now that Mega corps Don’t know My 5 block radius I’m safe "Spends 5 hours watching youtube"

What it means

A hand-drawn two-panel comic compares “insecure” and “secure” browsing. A person worries about data collection, then feels safe after using a VPN because large corporations supposedly cannot know their five-block radius, while still spending five hours watching YouTube. The joke mocks exaggerated privacy concerns and the false sense of security created by using a VPN. EN: A hand-drawn two-panel comic compares “insecure” and “secure” browsing.
