No talking about crypto and DRM?
Who gets to set what "material" is to be removed?
What speech is a sin?
What will be curated and who can lobby for all other sinful material to be removed?
A movie company what wants the negative "political" reviews of their new movie to stop and all past comments and links to be removed?
A hardware company that has a lot of failed product on the market but wants people to stop having the freedom to report on defects?
A faith group that wants to stop people from talking about leaving the faith, changing to another faith?
Can a faith group demand full legal EU nation blasphemy protection for its teachings?
No talking about the results of national and city politics in the EU?

That a funny joke had to be created by another nations experts?
No comments about China and the history of Communism due to EU trade deals?
No comments allowed on a Catalan declaration of independence?
EU nations, cults, brands, actors, political groups, think tanks will have the money and lawyers to sway EU law to block speech and publication due to their own presented views.
Thats why the US view of freedom of speech and freedom after speech is so great.
People can publish, comment, review without fear of an EU government saying no to further publication in the name of an NGO, cult, brand, think tank, faith, mil.
Re " intermittently bursting in a sneaky and sophisticated way a high capacity data uplink?"
The location of the US/UK/commercial sat network getting that unexpected uplink can be detect over time by Russia.
The USA and UK would just suggest their new spies now use a commercial account and send out spy "data" like any normal person using a commercial service.
Some data like so many other accounts, on a free ad supported email service.
The task of an embassy worker, NGO, charity worker, tourist giving spy hardware to a spy is not good.
Wigs, make up and a different SUV dont make the exchange of spy equipment safe.
Walking around with an encryption device and a direct sat device to hand over to a spy is not good.
Using and trusting such hardware day after day is not good.
Getting caught later with a bespoke encryption device and a direct sat device is not good.
Better to just use an ad supported consumer email account and send the data out of Russia. All risk reverts to spy who so wanted to work for MI6/CIA for money/politics.
No risk to embassy worker/tourist/NGO/charity/think tank worker having to carry around spy equipment for a spy meeting.
No need to walk around Russia with complex spy equipment for next spy meeting.
Just a print out of an email address from a free ad company and an emergency contact number.
Spying and getting data out won't change. Number stations do the rest.
The network of sat systems would broadcast into Russia as normal, like they do over any nation they pass over.
The act of connecting up to the network without permission would be detected in real time.
Like using power from the electric company without permission and an approved connection.
Connecting to gas and water without paying for the connection to the utility company.
Having a phone and IPS account without ever paying for that connection.
Want to use a communications network? Get one that's approved and all is good.
Did they lie on their application?
What parts of their application are fake and fiction?
The work history? The name part? Using fake ID?
Could they pass their tests and exams without no academic considerations?
Do they have a split loyalty to the company, brand due to their politics?
Do people who are part of their social media see theft as part of a normal lifestyle?
Move to a city, part of the USA with less crime.
Communities where police are allowed to enforce city and state laws.
Your company and investment will be welcomed and your property kept safe.
Find a city and state with an actual work ethic and discipline. Not a city that is politically ok with decades of crime.
So some NGO, charity, ad company, think tank, city, state, federal gov, law enforcement in their own nation can't keep years of ip logs from everyday IPS use.
A VPN offers a way around the way many nations keep data on their own nations ISP account use.
The ability to comment, talk, publish without having a gov, NGO, ad company, brand, faith, mil, think tank saying a person is to be stopped from such internet use.
Going to the same sites in the same timezone with the same comments, searches will be an easy match for powerful ad brands.
The changing of an ip is something that ad brands have had years to understand, detect and not worry about.
The way the internet is used again and again detects the same person.
A VPN is good for keeping an IP and ISP logs issues away within a nation.
Once the mil/security services/police notice a comment, IP, they will find the VPN IP, contact the VPN and put in a request to that nation.
To find that account next time the VPN is used and on that site.
The next time a VPN user is online trusting that secure VPN IP, their ISP IP will be discovered and recovered by law enforcement in the VPN nation.
The VPN will work until someone starts a real time police investigation into that VPN ip.
The security services just have the keys around much of the VPN crypto too, but never want to use that for direct law enforcement.
Most people just want to be safe from NGO, city, state, federal governments collect it all and crypto removal efforts on their nations ISP services.
A VPN keeps their ISP connection encrypted until out of their own nation.
That month after month of IP logs by their ISP and gov show nothing.
Who is saying what disinformation is?
The user has the ability to publish and link to any information they want. Its their comment.
Why should an NGO, think tank, mil, any nation, European Union official say thats not approved speech?
Spain on a comment about Catalonia?
Germany on history?
Germany on its open migration policy?
China on Taiwan?
Big agriculture wants some Ag-gag laws?
France wants to ban funny comments about politicians and all news about protests?
No comments on DRM?
No comments on political movies not selling well?
No right to talk about repairing brand name products with imported parts?
Weak junk crypto is a banned topic?
No linking to published whistleblower news about the mil and security services?
No funny memes about NATO?
No comments on EU nation arms exports to really bad nations?
No funny memes about EU nation censorship attempts?
A computer company on what needs to be curated and what speech is a sin?
Social media on what politics it will allow?
Will the EU has a blasphemy test for questions of faith? Can any faith, cult, theocracy tell the EU what they think disinformation is?
Can a Communist party demand the removal of information on democracy, faith, history, freedom by nations in the EU?
No saying Taiwan is the real China?
Do European Union officials have books, movies, plays, publications that want to ban due to "disinformation"?
Why stop with reporting and removing content online?
Go full German BfV on all EU publishers and online comments?
The US freedom to publish and the to stay free after publication is looking great after the views of EU nations.
That China uses people to report other people.
That the reason for reporting is a person attempted to publish on a topic the Communist party wants no comment on.
That Communist will set any topic to be reported.
That such reporting will follow a person around for decades. It can also create a new report on family and people connected in any way to the person reported
The person who reported another person gets rewarded. Lots of incentive to report a lot of people.
The trick a lot of US bands try and do politically is set persons reputation within that sector to something like that of a banned group under color of law.
Great for virtue signalling for a while but its within the private sector.
It works for a while until a person works out legally its not the full power of US gov secrecy protecting such an industry wide shared reputation database.
Discovery then sets in and the who and why a person was added to a banned group list is out in the open.
Thats really the difference with the USA. The USA has discovery on why a person had their good reputation changed.
The gov cannot stop publication, free speech and stop a person after speech. The US gov cannot take away the ability to publish.
The private sector can try and set a united position on political speech, funding.
But once a person finds out what was done to their good reputation for political reasons they can ask why in the USA.
They can also tell the world why they got their accounts altered industry wide at the same time:)
People report people and get rewarded for reporting more people.
Its not a loan, banking, police, court, education only legal system.
Get seen with the wrong brand, get seen publishing the wrong topics... thats going to be reported by other people.
People report other people. Thats the part most in the free West dont get.
Its not only a digital network of court, loan, banking and police reports.
Seen with the wrong brand by a person and get reported.
Say the wrong comment and a person can report that comment.
Reading the wrong books gets a report.
Publish the wrong comment online.
Talk about the freedom of Taiwan, the real China. Comment the wrong way in an online video.
Thats all going to get seen, reported and that then removes education, health care, housing, travel options.
Another method is making a person go to court for any reason to get the social credit lowered.
Any "finding" against the person under the Communist legal system lowers the social credit.
Lots of ways to report a person, to have their decades of travel, health care, housing, education, banking access removed.
The system in China is not as automated as presented.
Its also a reporting system that accepts reports on people by other people.
Everyone is an informer in a Communist nation.
The more information reported on people, the more a person can keep their own social credit in good standing with the Communist government.
That's access to better housing, better education, loans, travel, international travel, much better quality hotels, getting a passport, faster methods of domestic travel.
A system like the Stasi used but with real time results over many gov databases.
It follows hops of friends and family too. They all face losing all their professional standing, ability to get a loan, do banking, travel.
Any hint of anti Communist protest and its a lower credit score for everyone connected to that person.
Looking for work, advancement? The reported background information holds everyone reported back.
One person gets reported and that can alter the education, housing, health care, travel options of another person.
Get reported for reading about Taiwan, books from Japan, South Korea, talking to journalists, the history of Communism.
No freedom of speech. No freedom after reading. Dont get found with a funny bear cartoon.
Depends on when a social media company wants to use the full protection of been a utility to pass on a users comments.
To become the publish of a users comments with all the other laws that go with publication.
Want people to interact with the gov on social media? Thats the protection of a utility.
Not if the organizations are using utility like protections to pass on a users own words, links as a users own publication.
Social media is then trying to become the publisher of a users content with bans, reporting, removal of content.
Social media cannot enjoy the full protections of been a utility while acting like a publisher and removing users political content.
People in the USA don't get reported for talking about a cartoon bear, term limits, Animal Farm, 1984.
No housing, education, travel bans in the USA for publishing, talking, commenting.
The USA has freedom of speech and freedom after speech.
In the USA people can talk and publish about the Communist party history.
Say that Taiwan is the real China.
People in the USA are free to read books from South Korea and Japan.
Then talk about the plots and reviews.
No cartoon bear jokes. No Emperor jokes.
No 1989 Tiananmen Square protests links.
Don't talk about term limits.
No saying Taiwan is the real China.
No to books like Brave New World, 1984 and Animal Farm.
Dont go looking for quality anime & manga.
Once seen and reported a person stays on the no travel, no education list.
As the points go lower, more is restricted.

AC ensuring a phone network and internet works within a nation is not a everyday national censorship filter.

Parts of a much wider network had to be considered and worked on.
Did they lie on their application?
