I could have phrased it better but what I meant was. The use of VPN’s are not that widespread, and assuming one is trying to conceal illegal activity using a VPN would make sense. Therefore any law that results I many more people using a VPN makes it harder for the security service to weed out potential suspects from the crowd.
It’s not that using a VPN makes you more likely to be a criminal. It’s that a criminal is more likely to use a VPN.
The Chinese can’t monitor everyone but if you’re encrypting your emails they assume you’re up to no good.
