NordVPN observes a huge increase in inquiries from Hong Kong
People in Hong Kong are worried about their digital privacy, security, and mass surveillance, as news about China’s plan to take full control of Hong Kong emerge. In a couple of hours, an interest in VPNs grew dramatically.
NordVPN, a leading VPN service in the world, is observing a huge spike in inquiries from Hong Kong. The number of inquiries is growing every hour. At the moment, it is 120 times higher, compared to yesterday.
Such spikes in demand for VPNs are not unusual. Whenever a government announces an increase in surveillance, internet restrictions, or other types of constraints, people turn to privacy tools. We saw similar spikes in different regions, for example, when the US repealed net neutrality, or the UK passed the law dubbed 'The Snoopers’ Charter'.
Similar growth was noticeable during protests in Hong Kong last year.
According to The Washington Post, “China’s ruling Communist Party gave its clearest signal yet that it plans to bring Hong Kong under its full control, with a top official saying Thursday that Beijing wants to “improve” the system that has allowed the territory to enjoy a level of autonomy for the past 23 years.”
