Explore the Intersection of Global Internet Privacy and Cybersecurity

Our Focus

Hoyas Without Borders delves into the world of VPNs, exploring how they protect personal data, bypass censorship, and critically examine the growing demand for government-mandated backdoors in encrypted technologies. Through clear explanations, global case studies, legal analysis, and interactive visuals, we aim to help students, educators, and the public understand the complex trade-offs between national security and individual privacy.

We examine the growing demand for government-mandated backdoors in encrypted technologies, discussing the legal and ethical debates, implications, and recommendations. Our goal is to promote awareness, debate, and digital autonomy, staying true to the Georgetown spirit of global service and freedom of thought.

This section examines the ethical dilemma of imposing intentional vulnerabilities in encrypted systems. While they may help curb crime, they also open the door to abuse, mass surveillance, and a loss of trust in essential tools for digital privacy.

We provide insights into what makes elements make a good VPN and how you may choose one according to your needs. 

Hoyas Without Borders is an educational website created by Georgetown University students to explore the intersection of global internet privacy, cybersecurity, and government surveillance. 

This site explains why adding backdoors to privacy tools can be risky.

Through real-life examples and clear explanations, we explore how these measures affect your security, privacy, and digital freedom around the world.
