Summary:
- The UK media regulator Ofcom is increasing its funding to monitor how British citizens use virtual private networks (VPNs).
- VPNs allow users to hide their online activity and access content that may be restricted in their location. Ofcom wants to track VPN usage to ensure compliance with media regulations.
- This move raises concerns about privacy and freedom of internet access, as increased monitoring of VPN use could infringe on people's right to browse the web anonymously.
