Speaking of which, when did we decide to stop upholding free speech, as you know, a basic right in this country? What is playing out right now at big tech companies and social media sites sets a rather dangerous precedent as social media sites begin to crack down on your ability to speak freely, encouraged by the White House. By the way, it doesn't matter what your politics are, who you voted for. The reality is you don't want big tech monitoring what you do. This is why I use ExpressVPN. You've ever wondered how free to access tech giants make their money? The answer is they track your searches, video history, everything you click on, by building a profile on you, and then they sell off your sensitive data, they can make their cash. When you use the ExpressVPN app on your computer or phone, you anonymize much of your online presence by hiding your IP address. That makes your activity more difficult to trace and sell to advertisers. What's more, ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of your network data to protect you from eavesdroppers and cybercriminals. But I like most is how easy it is to use. It takes just one click to protect all of your devices.

That is why ExpressVPN is rated number one by Business Insider. So stop allowing Big Tech to revoke your right to free speech. Why not revoke their right to your data instead? Secure your internet with the VPN.I trust for online protection. That's express at VPN.com
