Licha ya maonyo ya maafisa kadhaa wa Wizara ya Mambo ya Nje juu ya uwezekano wa Israel kutumia vibaya silaha zilizotengenezwa na Marekani, Pentagon imetuma zaidi ya tani 50,000 za silaha kwa Israeli tangu vita vya Gaza kuanza.....

Tanzania Tightens Rules on VPN Usage. It's a BAD IDEA.
What’s Happening? - The #Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (@TCRA_Tz) is making stricter rules about using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). VPNs are tools people use online for privacy or to access content not usually available in their country.
What are the new rules?
1. Declaration of VPN Usage: People and companies using VPNs must tell TCRA they are using them. They must give details like their Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
2. Deadlines and Forms: People have to provide this information by October 30, 2023. TCRA has made a form for this; people can fill it out online.
3. Penalties for not Following Rules: If someone doesn’t follow these rules, they might have to pay a lot of money or go to jail. They could be fined at least Sh5 million or go to jail for up to 12 months.
Why is this happening?
1. More people are using VPNs to access content not allowed in Tanzania. Mange Kimambi effect?
2. TCRA wants to control this and ensure that only allowed content is accessed.
Our take: This is a BAD IDEA, here's why
1. Privacy Concerns
Data Collection: The directive might raise significant privacy concerns by mandating the disclosure of VPN usage along with pertinent information such as IP addresses. Users might feel uncomfortable or unsafe sharing such detailed information.
2. Innovation and Business
Business Operations: Businesses often rely on VPNs for secure connections, especially when employees are working remotely. Restrictive policies might hinder business operations, potentially affecting the economy.
Impact on Tech Industry: Over-regulation could stifle technological innovation and discourage tech companies from operating within the country.
3. Implementation and Compliance
Feasibility: Enforcing VPN declarations and tracking compliance could be challenging, given the inherent anonymity of VPN usage.
Resource Intensive: Implementing, monitoring, and enforcing this directive could require significant resources and technological capabilities.
4. User Experience and Access to Information
Restricted Access: The directive could limit access to global content and information, hindering research, education, and personal development opportunities.
Limited Choices: Users might find their choices in terms of content consumption to be limited, affecting the overall internet user experience.
5. Legal and Ethical
Legality of Enforcement: The legal foundations for such sweeping directives, including substantial fines and imprisonment terms, could be questioned.
Ethics of Control: There could be debates around whether it is ethically correct to have such control over internet usage and access to information.
6. Global Perception
International Image: This could affect how Tanzania is perceived globally regarding internet freedom and business friendliness.
7. Security
Cybersecurity: While the directive aims to control content access, it might inadvertently weaken cybersecurity by discouraging VPN usage, offering encryption and protection against cyber threats.
NB: TCRA reports 34 million internet users. Imagine we all submit our VPN details. Read full article on or website.

The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation.
