This is a very excellent question and I'm glad you asked. As it turns out police are rounding up people who peacefully protest and organise peaceful protests in opposition to our Marxist government.So you prefer a private company to spy on you and make you pay for it? All the traffic through VPN is looking for trouble. More and more sites detect public VPN servers and refuse access. Your Internet speed will be reduced, your latency will be increased. You are limiting yourself. What do you have to hide from your government so much? Australia is not a 3rd world country, as far as I know.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by private companies but if you mean using apple, google or any other tech giant such as these I never do.
Australia is first world but very much a highly controlled and monitored society now. Eyes are everywhere.
As far as the VPN bringing more attention to our activities, that ridiculous. The servers we use on this network are owned and not rented. Further to speeds, there has not been any drop in speed. I have not found any websites blocked.
Using the Tor network which I use frequently does however cause blockage and access issues
Plus all the sites the governmemt blocks are now unblocked.
