This is not like lawful interception that every country does, including Western democracies,” says Marla Rivera, a technical researcher at InterSecLab, a global digital forensics research institution. In addition to mass censorship, the system allows governments to target specific individuals based on their website activities, like having visited a certain domain.
The surveillance system that Geedge is selling “gives so much power to the government that really nobody should have,” Rivera says. “This is very frightening.”

The protection is awesome… Even good enough to block any connection to other nations for protection…
And when the regime in collapsing, it protects you even from communicating with other protestors in your own country. 🙃
protection level 100
