This doesn't make sense.
They say "endpoint in the UK" and "VPN Server in the UK", and that they could not confirm whether outside the UK would still block.
Cloudflare blocks UK requests. If you use a VPN you choose which country you send the requests from.
Cloudflare as a separate entity from the VPN provider can't know where requests originally came from. That's the whole point of the VPN.
There is nothing new here. The article seems to misunderstand and to misrepresent.

Uganda cracks down on Google over data protection breach
Original article published by CIPESA under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license.
In a July 18, 2025 decision, Uganda’s Personal Data Protection Office (PDPO) found Google LLC in breach of the country’s data protection law and ordered the global tech giant to register with the local data protection office within 30 days.
The decision would place the popular search engine under the ambit of Uganda’s Data Protection and Privacy Act, whose provisions it would have to comply with. In particular, the PDPO has ordered Google to provide – within 30 days – documentary evidence of how it is complying with requirements for transferring the personal data of Ugandan citizens outside of the country’s borders. Google also has to explain the legal basis for making those cross-border data transfers and the accountability measures in place to ensure that such transfers respect Uganda’s laws.
The orders followed a November 2024 complaint by four Ugandans, who argued that as a data collector, controller, and processor, Google had failed to register with the PDPO as required by local laws. They also contended that Google unlawfully transferred their personal data outside Uganda without meeting the legal conditions enshrined in the law, and claimed these actions infringed their data protection and privacy rights and caused them distress.
The PDPO ruled that Google was indeed collecting and processing personal data of the complainants without being registered with the local data regulator, which contravened section 29 of the Data Protection and Privacy Act. Google was also found liable for transferring the complainants’ data across Uganda’s borders without taking the necessary safeguards, in breach of section 19 of the Act.
This section provides that, where a data processor or data controller based in Uganda processes or stores personal data outside Uganda, they must ensure that the country in which the data is processed or stored has adequate measures for protecting the data. Those measures should at least be equivalent to the protection provided for under the Ugandan law. The consent of the data subject should also be obtained for their data to be stored outside Uganda.
In its defence, Google argued that since it was not based in Uganda and had no physical presence in the country, it was not obliged to register with the PDPO, and the rules on cross-border transfers of personal data did not apply to it. However, the regulator rejected this argument, determining that Google is a local data controller since it collects data from users in Uganda and decides how that data is processed.
The regulator further determined that the local data protection law has extra-territorial application, as it states in section 1 that it applies to a person, institution or public body outside Uganda who collects, processes, holds or uses personal data relating to Ugandan citizens. Accordingly, the regulator stated, the law places obligations “not only to entities physically present in Uganda but to any entity handling personal data of Ugandan citizens, including those established abroad, provided they collect or process such data.”
The implication of this decision is that all entities that collect Ugandans’ data, including tech giants such as Meta, TikTok, and X, must register with the Ugandan data regulator. This decision echoes global calls to hold Big Tech more accountable, and for African countries to have strong laws as per African Union (AU) Convention on Cyber Security and Personal Data Protection (Malabo Convention), and the AU Data Policy Framework.
However, enforcement of these orders remains a challenge. For instance, Uganda’s PDPO does not make binding decisions and only makes declaratory orders. Additionally, the regulator does not have powers to make orders of compensation to aggrieved parties, and indeed did not do so under the current decision. It can only recommend that the complainants engage a court of competent jurisdiction, in accordance with section 33(1) of the Act.
Conversely, the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner of Kenya established by section 5 of Data Protection Act, 2019 and the Personal Data Protection Commission of Tanzania established by section 6 of the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2022 are bestowed with powers to issue administrative fines under sections 9(1)(f) and section 47 respectively.
The dilemma surrounding the Uganda PDPO presents major concerns about its capacity to remedy wrongs of global data collectors, controllers and processors. Among its declarations in the July 2025 decision was that it would not issue an order for data localisation “at this stage” but “Google LLC is reminded that all cross-border transfers of personal data must comply fully with Ugandan law”. This leaves unanswered questions over data sovereignty and respect for individuals’ data rights given the handicaps faced by data regulators in countries such as Uganda and the practicalities presented by the global digital economy.
In these circumstances, Uganda’s Data Protection and Privacy Act should be amended to expand the powers of PDPO to impose administrative fines so as to add weight and enforceability to its decisions.

More programs actively blocking it will make that harder, but I wonder how many will stick to their guns when pressured by Microsoft.
I suspect that Microsoft will ratchet up the pressure to force it on people as the gen AI bubble pops, an attempt to keep the narrative alive to keep up demand for their overbuilt GPU data centers.

Nothing private about Windows recall. It makes your computer usage into their training data.

The worst part is that, no matter how some of us care and do something about our privacy, the ones that we interact with that don't care still expose us to all this BS. Until the world changes it's mindset, this will not change, and only get worse (I'm not holding my breath for people to care though).

Problem is, it's not a passion for most people and they just want to buy something and get on the internet. While they exist, you can't exactly go to Best buy and buy a new computer running Linux.
But really, if you have hardware that works well with it, it's a dream.

Besides of course this recall stuff gets blown way out of proportion like every time Microsoft makes a bad move. All of my computers don't even support recall and when they eventually do, I'll just disable it in one of like four possible different ways.

I don't think it is blown out of proportion, I actually think it is that bad, and I also think that if you think you can just disable it and be done with it, you don't have any experience with microsoft products and services. they regularly reset privacy settings, both on windows, and yesterday I found that even in their android apps like the swiftkey keyboard.
another example of this tendency, is that a few days ago I was helping a friend with computer problems who stuck on windows 7, and I have seen that microsoft yas gone out of its way to push an update or something that installed their edge browser, pinned it to the taskbar and automatically opened it on boot.

then sometimes the setting is just ignored. I was baffled when the policy to disable the start menu automatic bing search -which basically uploads all your local searches to microsoft bing - did not work, even after 2 reboots. I think it was this year, perhaps the last one

My start menu has looked like this for as long as I can remember so I'm not sure what's keeping it from changing with updates. searching for anything not on my local system results in 'no results found'
edit I am using OOSU10 but unless it has some auto-reset feature then it isn't what's keeping my changes in place through upgrades. I'm even on the beta channel for windows.

I don't have an HDR monitor so can't say how well it works in Linux, but you can survive without HDR. Is a better lighting contrast that big of a deal?

in reply to Psythik • • •It doesn't mean you don't get those things, it just means that you don't use them via a control panel.
There are a few solutions for shadowplay that are all decent to excellent, rtx HDR I think is automatic in Proton? Not sure what you mean by game filters unless you're talking about reshade, and I wasn't aware there was a video upscaler in Firefox.
