    Mind Your Dirigible, the dirigible in this case being your personal data. He’s saying you should use a VPN or other precautions when using those apps.

      I’m so tempted to now question what VPN stands for 😆. Although I suspect more people would recognise the acronym than the full name

          Yep, it’s basically a sorting software that makes sure your IP is always sorted under the “somewhere else” tag, so the government can’t see where you are, or more accurately when you are.

            To anticipate the next questions, IP stands for Iambic Pentameter, which is obviously self-explanatory.
