Almost all internet traffic is encrypted in the first place, so a VPN doesn’t significantly improve security. VPN advertising tends to use weasel wording about this (“might”). You can still be tracked via metadata such as domain names/IPs - do note that VPNs can do this too. https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/overview https://youtu.be/WVDQEoe6ZWY

Original Tweet
Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1846942244865298583
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
