Yes we all hear about how Uganda has fleets of drones stationed in
countries throughout the world killing people. There is nothing special
about America.

If they don't care then how come they bother to go to the provider? By
using VPNs my provider rarely has any idea what I am doing. I do not

comb through and index everything everyone does on-line.
