Another threat is now targeting VPN users. The US government has just updated his Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. Under this rule, privacy in the US will be in grave danger. All American judges can issue special search warrants for law enforcement. The use of this term, the application of US law can remotely access any device, including those protected with tools for privacy.
The new rule would change everything. And this is not the worst part thereof. Nobody can complain about it. Once done, it's done. That is why we are afraid. We do not fear the law. We can change it. What we fear is the future of our privacy. Nobody and nothing can escape this new rule. VPN users, in particular.
A new threat to digital and VPN Users
This new rule is different. It will not only target any person or any other device. This rule target whoever rejects monitoring the location. Who are they? TOR users. VPN users. Any other person who does not share their location. These people, like you and me, our data could lose if we do not bow to that rule.
This new rule means the end for VPN users. But we can still stop it. From now on, he just left the Supreme Court. Before it can be applied, it needs the approval of Congress. It is time that we can only hope that you who live in the United States can fight for our privacy. You must contact your members of Congress. Tell them about this law and why they should cancel. If they still spend this rule, VPN users not only become the target. Even if you are not VPN users, they can also target you. Why? Because this rule would also target potential harmful botnets. These botnets are not so easy to find. However, if you can find it is "affiliated", you can find it with ease. This time we talk about malware. A malicious script can escape. Then yes. This means you and everyone is included. Not included VPN users, does not mean that you are free this time.
A security expert told us his opinion on this new rule.
"malicious actors may even be able to divert the malware uses to infiltrate the government botnets, because the government often did not design their malware safely. government access to computers of botnet victims also raises serious privacy concerns, as a wide range of personal data without sensitive report could be consulted during the investigation. This is a dangerous expansion of powers, not something to be granted without public debate on the subject. "
Congress has time until 1 December to make their decision. It is also should be encouraged not to pass the bill. Otherwise, we're all going to see our privacy.
A rule that violates the rules
There is another reason why this bill is so important. Not just for digital and VPN users, but literally everyone. At the heart of any rule, there are "procedures". By law, all proposals and the rules must follow the procedures. You can not execute an order / law without following the procedures. No matter who you deal with. In addition, these procedures must change the fundamental rights.
Here's how we worked all the rules and proposals. But this new rule is different. Rule 41 does not process at all. There is nothing to follow. Just execute the order. While these may be our chance to fight for our privacy, the Supreme Court of the United States and then just have it removed. That is why it is dangerous. No space to complain. All we need is to accept the "fate." Just ask one day in the future, the government spy on you. They hack your smartphone. And what can you do? Nothing.
Everyone Becomes Target
The Electronic Frontier Foundation said that everyone should be wary of this new rule. This will not only affect VPN users in America but also worldwide. Everything that happens in America, can also occur in any part of the world.
This rule may seem low. He can not change how the rules should not follow procedures. But if you take a look of it seriously, it changes more than you think. It changes the way the government deals with VPN users, in particular. So if you really concern about how we should keep our privacy, this rule should never happen.
