How safe are we online? What about VPN's? Do they protect us as well as we've been led to believe? The video is 4:06 in length.

SLIGHTLY misleading title.
He is talking about what happens (or could happen) to your data on the other end.
Typically VPN is doing it’s job during the time of the connection.
Link to the article that the video is based on.
My VPN is based in a country the US government cannot subpoena.
Not that it will matter.
Who you gonna trust?
Skip the middle man and just pipeline direct to the NSA.
Some GS9 can get a little extra nap time that way.
A friend of ours was at an ‘Infra Guard’ meeting at UC Davis last year and an FBI agent let slip to the audience that the FBI is reading VPN and TOR in real time and using the information to catch cybercriminals.
Bottom line is if it is online it is not secure.
Exactly. Even people who don't go online are at risk because hackers are hacking companies servers/database with all kinds of info. As the man explained; a foreign government can go in and simply record all the data that flows through the VPN servers for months or years then use that info at a time of their choosing.
The real bottom line is we are all going to die someday and we kissed real privacy goodbye years ago.
Of course a VPN can’t protect us from the stupidity of others safeguarding our data. If you use a VPN and are concerned about private surfing, there are legit no log VPN’s that use RAM disk only, store no hard disk data for any govt to seize and are based in friendly jurisdictions. A good legit no-logs VPN also allows 3rd party verification audits to confirm this.
As far free VPN’s, the old saying applies, “if you are not the customer, you are the product”.

When Big Brother decides to invade your privacy, they'll just go to your ISP and look at the data.
Use Tor combined with a VPN.
Privacy is dead. Everybody out there has all of my data years ago. It is constantly being bought, sold, distributed. Anybody still worried about privacy needs to check their barn. The horses left years ago and shutting the door now still leaves the barn empty.
Privacy does not exist anymore. Bank on it. So why worry about it. I want to avoid cybercriminals, but as far as keeping any of my financial, medical, or personal data private from any government agency or business, it is far too late.
Same.

ROTFLOL!!
Thanks to Army Air Corps for the ping!
If you use a VPN the ISP won’t have the data.
“We’re all gonna die!”
Agreed. I just do what I can, but concede that government has the resources (via taxpayer-funded deep pockets) to circumvent whatever is available to me.
