Online behavior is systematically gathered, analyzed, and monetized across the internet by corporate and governmental entities. Mullvad provides a €5 monthly VPN service featuring anonymous accounts, traffic encryption, and defenses against AI-guided analysis to shield consumer identities. Because network routing alone cannot halt all forms of tracking, the company also launched a free, open-source browser developed alongside the Tor Project. This dual strategy seeks to protect basic civil liberties from aggressive censorship and pervasive corporate data collection.

And then? Watch all the versions.Free the internet from mass surveillance and censorship
We live in a world where everything we do online is tracked and stored (if we don’t oppose with privacy-focused services) by state actors, big tech companies and data brokers. This is already having consequences for people and societies. But it…
Transportation officials halted nationwide air traffic after an infrastructure upgrade triggered intense technical disruptions, overwhelming antiquated federal equipment with intermittent radar and communication gaps. The precautionary airspace shutdown left thousands of flights canceled and forced multiple diversions across the country. Recovery efforts are expected to disrupt airline operations for several days due to the interconnected nature of the nation's regional traffic centers.
Air travel is slowly returning to normal operations following an unprecedented grounding of all outbound aircraft across the country. Government officials pointed to out-of-date technology as the root cause of the crippling system failure. The resulting chaos disrupted schedules nationwide and left countless travelers stranded at airports as the network recovered.
A routine telecommunications upgrade in Arkansas and Texas triggered a massive network failure that grounded air traffic across the country for nearly five hours. Traffic surged when newly installed equipment overwhelmed critical Federal Aviation Administration centers, crippling aircraft communications and radar tracking. Federal officials are now scrutinizing contractor installation practices as the agency seeks billions in additional funding to replace aging aviation infrastructure.
