How to use Cyberghost VPN in Spain
It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3
Spain is plagued by surveillance and cybercrime
Spain has a poor history of guaranteeing online security for its citizens.
Around 95% of the Spanish cybercrimes or new technology offenses go unpunished. This includes complaints about sexual crimes on the internet, fraud, forgery, threats, scams, and the illegal interception of emails and messages.
An example of such an attack happened in 2014 when prominent Spanish government figures were hacked. The attack targeted their mobile phones and personal computers. And the aim was to track and intercept data communications. It seemed that the attack came from Russian and Chinese networks.
This sort of hacking attacks isn't limited to officials. Telefónica, a Spain established telecom operator, fell victim to a cyber-attack that exposed the personal data and billing information of millions of users. Many companies were infected with ransomware, a type of software that locks up computers and demands ransoms.
Spanish legislation enables internet surveillance
Spain claims it doesn’t engage in online activity monitoring or other surveillance practices. But Spanish Internet Service Providers are required by law to keep logs of your internet activity for up to 1 year. The motivation behind it is to combat piracy, terrorism, and illegal drug dealing.
And if that wasn’t enough, Spain is part of a surveillance organization called the 14 Eyes, along with the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Germany, Belgium, Italy, and Sweden.
So, your data isn't only available to Spanish authorities, but to all the countries in the 14 Eyes.
All these countries keep logs of their citizens' internet activities, and they pass them on from one to another. Which means even if your online records are deleted after a year in Spain, they could still exist in other parts of the world.
Protecting Spanish citizens' rights to privacy
Out of European countries, Spain has some of the strictest laws on personal data protection.
For instance, in 2012, Mario Costeja González, a Spanish citizen filed a complaint with the Spanish data protection agency because Google Search disclosed details of his bankruptcy. He requested Google to remove his details, and they refused. So, the European Court of Justice ruled that European citizens have the right to request commercial search firms to delete private information about them.
The legislation sets restrictions on the use of information technology to ensure personal privacy and the full exercise of said rights.
Spain is enforcing online censorship
So, even though Spanish internet users' personal information is typically protected by law, Spain has some peculiar points of view regarding digital freedom. For instance, they impose a lot of restrictions regarding freedom of speech and enforce online censorship.
In 2018, a 21-year-old student from Murcia was sentenced to 1 year in prison because of some jokes she made on Twitter that "glorified terrorism." Another example is the fact that in 2017, the Spanish Civil Guard blocked access to a pro-Catalan WhatsApp group. Recently, the Spanish government even proposed banning memes on social media to combat "spreading images that infringe the honor of a person."
Spanish torrenting laws are getting more aggressive
A study discovered that almost 88% of all online cultural content is pirated in Spain, which makes it one of the European countries with the highest level of internet piracy.
So, the Spanish authorities started clamping down on torrenting.
To fight piracy, the government set fines for up to €600.000 for torrenting websites. Additionally, hundreds of Spanish citizens received letters from a law firm asking for €475. A penalty for downloading the movie "Dallas Buyers Club." In 2018 most cases were dismissed, but one judge ruled that the people pirating the movie ultimately had to pay a €150 fine.
This is something CyberGhost VPN can help you with. It’s time for you to protect your digital privacy.
Bypass international streaming restrictions
If you subscribe to a streaming service, you probably already know that you can't access their entire library. That’s because of something called geo-restrictions. Based on your location and IP, streaming services decide what content from their catalog is available to you.
If you're abroad and want to watch one of your favorite shows on Mediaset, you might have the unsavory surprise of finding out that the service isn't available in the country you're in. Netflix, HBO NOW, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and many other streaming services set geographical restrictions because they don't have the licensing rights for different properties in all the locations.
There’s a simple solution for bypassing streaming restrictions: a virtual private network. So just hide your IP address and replace it with one from the CyberGhost VPN system. You’ll be able to access full streaming catalogs in no time!
