The Evolution of Internet Technology by National Security State

Internet free speech technology, such as VPNs, virtual private networks, and tools to hide IP addresses, was initially created by the national security state for intelligence-backed groups to circumvent state control over media. These technologies, originally developed by DARPA projects or joint CIA and NSA initiatives, were intended to assist in overthrowing problematic governments and evolved to be utilized for various online activities, including purchasing satellite software like Google Maps.
