ProtonVPN: "This guy, right?"
Not to mention the primarily black population of Louisiana who are disproportionately targeted for crimes will be the greatest number of false positives .
Due to the common knowledge the facial recognition is severely lacking when it comes to successfully identifying black populations due to darker tones being harder to differentiate.
This would take an existing problem and magnify it by creating a larger, more automated police state.
Not to mention data privacy/security, which the LA DMV just got their data hacked in the last two years...
Seriously a public safety violation all-around.
Deport him to Russia's new Conservative Camp.. err.. i mean Village
Couple this with Hawaii's new research that Lunar cycles will make coastal tides larger for the next 10-15 years starting around mid-2030s*...

One word solution:
Fiber
The best public option is Proton imo. With paid subscriptions you even get access to Secure Core servers where Proton runs their own data centers instead of hiring 3rd-parties like NordVPN, etc.
Case-point: Nord has been hacked before bc of third-party data centers. Proton has no breaches so far and does regular security audits, has plenty of servers outside the 14 Eyes Alliance, and actively fund privacy focused projects.
Mullvad is a close second bc of their anonymous payments.
It really depends on the quantity and sensitivity of the content I'd say.
But Proton has replaced everything I used Google for (Drive/Email). Proton will work for a good 90% of everyone most likely.

It's a good philosophy but that's just it. Crypto should've remained closeto it's philosophical roots.
The government legalizing manipulation of crypto by making them "assets" ruined any real implementation by tethering it to the fiat currencies. So crypto is now a moot point sadly that doesn't retain it's original anarchist intentions.
I know a lot about Monero and Ring Token technology. Used it plenty. Doesn't matter. Still tied to fiat and manipulation by proxy. Even if private. What's the real issue with this tethering you ask?
Authoritarian Control
Governmental overreach being able to examine any of your accounts and almost see a one-to-one with your deposits is a red flag. No, they cant see the amounts on the other end (Monero's private ledger). But all security is an illusion, especially for the now government backed tech like this. Eventually Ring tech will be broken by AI, ML, Quantum, or many. Plus, the exchange reports your purchases and sells that data too (legally now).
Even if you use LocalMonero and do it in-person, you have IP Addresses (bc no VPNs usually), messages between seller and buyer, and purchase amounts potentially all under the authority of private entities. Unless you've some serious connections.
All the government has to do is make it illegal to participate in crypto at all and now it becomes dead tech again (for better or worse).
Thank you for your input though! Not trying to be defeatist or an alarmist. Just a clarification on my opinions of where the hypothetical train went off the rails.
