If you want to protect your privacy while surfing the net and do not want to read and log your own internet provider and the large government data such as Prism or Tempora, this can be achieved via a VPN provider. Users can disguise their IP addresses by connecting to the VPN provider through an encrypted connection, which then forwards the requests.
Credit card companies see this critically. Mastercard and Visa boycott the payments of users to VPN providers. The Swedish VPN service providers IPredator and Payson are affected, as other examples are the services Anonine, Mullvad, VPNTunnel and Privatvpn. As there are other ways of payment, this does not mean the end of the VPN offer, which makes the operation more difficult.
Of course, VPN services have long been under criticism, because this can also mask the file sharing of protected content. However, the timing of the payment locks appears to be a very strange coincidence in the United States (Prism), in England (Tempora), and now also in France (DGSE) Br>
This is in the apparent contradiction is the release of donations to Wikileaks. These were in connection with the so-called "Cablegate affair", as inter alia. Material from US embassies has been released. This, of course, invites all sorts of speculation.
