We can also break down users by country. The largest contingent of Snowflake users are in Iran, which has been the case since the Mahsa Amini protests in 2022 1. The graph shows also a large number of users apparently from the United States, but we believe that may be partly the result of geolocation errors, and many of them are actually from Iran. After Iran, the countries with the most Snowflake users are Russia and China.
Ah, I forgot that Monero in exchange for cash might not be an option here. Apologies, you’re right. With that, I’d also like a comparison of security between these two approaches
Snowflake is encrypted but I dont know with what protocol. TLS at least so at least as secure as the regular internet including all banking sites.
Yeah, Snowflake being tied to this one use case also prevents abuse. Imagine having “free VPN ran on my Computer for the Iranians”, that would be abused like hell.
