The world is fighting back! Amid rising censorship and election crackdowns, VPN usage has skyrocketed by over 10,000% in some countries. A new Proton VPN report reveals that governments are silencing dissent, blocking social media, and manipulating information, forcing citizens to turn to VPNs for free and open internet access.
