My country's government blocks certain news sites and social media. Is it safe to use VPN to access them?

Turbo VPN helps bypass censorship safely in most countries. Technical aspect: VPN encrypts traffic so government can't see which sites you visit, masks your IP so accessed sites don't know your location, circumvents DNS-based blocking (most common method). Safety considerations: VPN use is legal in most countries, restricted in China/Russia/UAE/Iran (enforcement varies), in truly authoritarian regimes, use caution - don't post identifying info, use additional tools (Tor) for high-risk activity. I'm journalist who's worked in 15+ countries with censorship. Turbo works in most of them - has obfuscation to disguise VPN traffic. Connects you to free internet for accessing news, communicating with family abroad, research. 300 million global users include many in restricted countries. Reality: governments usually target high-profile activists, not average citizens accessing news. VPN significantly reduces risk. Turbo's no-logs policy means even if pressured, they have no data to share.
