These bears work quietly to protect your online privacy

What’s so important about a VPN kill switch?

What's so important about a VPN kill switch?

TL;DR: A two-year subscription to PureVPN is on sale for £2.33 per month, saving you 74% on list price.


The list of features offered by VPN providers is long and growing, but some are more important than others. Sure, server location and connection speed is important, but these things don’t impact your privacy and security.

If online security is your priority, you should be looking out for things like a kill switch. This  terminates your internet connection if the VPN disconnects, so that your identity isn’t exposed. It’s a vital second layer of protection, and it’s something every VPN service should provide. Read more…

7 of the best Squarespace templates for your blog

7 of the best Squarespace templates for your blog

There’s a good reason why Squarespace is an incredibly popular web building and hosting service: it allows people to build beautiful websites relatively easily and affordably, thanks largely to its drag-and-drop page builders and templates. 

While Squarespace might offer less flexibility for experienced coders than other website builders like WordPress, it is user friendly, even if you have zero coding experience. That’s largely because it offers around 100 different and customisable templates. These templates act as “rough draft” designs for you to build the website you want, determining how your site looks and how it works. Read more…

Twitter’s Jack Dorsey fact checks Trump, subtweets Mark Zuckerberg, ahead of social media executive order

Twitter's Jack Dorsey fact checks Trump, subtweets Mark Zuckerberg, ahead of social media executive order

President Donald Trump will reveal an executive order designed to “regulate” social media on Thursday, after Twitter applied its fact-check label to two Trump tweets containing false claims about mail-in ballots.

The executive tantrum, and a Fox News appearance by senior White House advisor Kellyanne Conway where she goaded viewers to harass Twitter’s head of site integrity Yoel Roth, spurred a stern response from Twitter cofounder and CEO Jack Dorsey.

“Fact check: there is someone ultimately accountable for our actions as a company, and that’s me,” Dorsey tweeted. “Please leave our employees out of this. We’ll continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally.” Read more…
