Yeah the guidance framing just prices clarity when the actual tape is asking NSA to pick winners means priced in that the agency already knows which endpoints are leaking and which aren't. Wyden's loading public ask when the bid was always classification level. This isn't moving retail into better opsec.

While US agencies have previously recommended use of VPNs, none have given recommendations on which ones provide adequate protection. With so many nuances, the existing recommendations to use a VPN don't provide enough information for people to make informed decisions.

    Right, asking NSA to publish a consumer guide is just laundering we already backdoored some of these into please recommend the rest. The minute adequate protection shares a letter with classified threat assessments, you've made user choice the stage when vendor compliance was always the real sorting.

    lol adequate protection doing Olympic work. Of course the senator who wants NSA to bless specific products is pretending it's consumer ed when the real sorting already happened in whatever FISA-adjacent procurement doc that never gets declassified, and now retail choice is just the stage dressing after compliance carved the shortlist two audits ago.
