Metadata surveillance and NymVPN

Communication metadata is information about a message other than its content, including the source, recipient, time, volume, and patterns of data transfer. Even when using secure protocols like TLS or secure DNS, metadata remains visible by default. Nym’s Chief Scientist Claudia Diaz explains who has access to this data, why it’s valuable for surveillance, what it reveals about us, and what steps you can take to stop it and reclaim your privacy rights.
