A [[Virtual Private Network]] (VPN) creates an encrypted tunnel between the user and a remote server operated by the VPN service. All of that user's internet traffic and data are routed through this tunnel. As the traffic exits the VPN server, the true IP address is hidden, masking the user's identity and location.<ref>[https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/what-is-a-vpn-and-why-you-need-one What is a VPN and Why you need one, PC Magazine]</ref>

===Tor Project===
[[The Tor Project]] is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that develops free, open-source software for privacy and freedom online from tracking, surveillance, and censorship. Tor bounces communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers worldwide and prevents sites from learning end user's physical location. The Onion Router is a network of servers that connects through a series of virtual tunnels rather than direct connections.<ref>[https://2019.www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en#overview Overview, Tor Project]</ref>

Data security is a central theme of privacy regulations. In addition to codifying an expectation of privacy, most regulations set minimum standards for the treatment, uses, and protection of personal information. Many regulations also specify how companies and organizations should deal with data breaches. Personal information, particularly personally identifying information or financial information is a prime target of cybercriminals. However, whereas data security protects data from leaks caused by (internal or external) malicious actors, data privacy controls the processes involved in data collection, sharing, and usage.<ref>[https://martechlive.com/data-privacy-automation-and-importance/ What Is Data Privacy Automation and Why Is It Important, MarTechLive]</ref>
[[Sebastian Schonfeld]] and [[Natalie Dunleavy Campbell]] argued [[Cryptographyy|encryption]] protects children and proposals such as the U.S. EARN IT Act, the STOP CSAM Act, and the Kids Online Safety Act pose a serious threat to cybersecurity.<ref>[https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2023/05/encryption-keeps-kids-safe-online/ Encryption Keeps Kids Safe Online, Internet Society Blog, 3 May 2023 ]</ref> By contrast, [[Paul Vixie]] replied that "an internet without disruption or intermediation gives the same rights to an intruder that are meant for family members, employees, or customers. privacy vs. security isn't a strict bimodal solution space." [[Andrew Campling]] agreed with Vixie, stating that "Too often encryption and security are erroneously conflated when they are quite separate...[for] stopping the dissemination of [[CSAM]], options already exist for privacy-preserving content filtering at endpoints. Experts in organisations like the [[Internet Watch Foundation]] (IWF) can provide advice on this topic and can also test the effectiveness of applications etc.''
