Showerthought: I thought using a VPN for everything was overkill until my friend in Hong Kong got a warning

He sent a message in a group chat about a protest, nothing graphic, just the location. His ISP sent him a notice the next day about 'network misuse'. That was six months ago. Now I run a VPN on my phone and laptop 24/7, no exceptions. Has anyone else had a simple chat trigger an official warning from their provider?

Paranoid? Please. I got a copyright notice from my ISP for downloading a public domain book from 1923. My router probably rats me out for searching "why is my internet so slow." At this point, I assume my smart fridge is filing reports on my questionable midnight snacks.

Ever think you're just being paranoid?
