Online privacy typically requires that you think of what you are trying to protect yourself from.

So, what are you trying to prevent?

A VPN will make your public IP address private. This can hide some activity from your ISP, hackers, marketing companies. However, it's only one layer of protection.

(You could also use NewPipe as a replacement to the YouTube app.)

However, some VPN companies will track you and sell your information. Because of this, I recommend ProtonVPN (free tier, Swiss-based, encrypted traffic that they can't even de-anonymize).

If you want more complete privacy, you'd want to use something like a Tor Box, but these aren't typically good for streaming because the layered routing makes for a slow Internet connection.

Reuters is the closest to an unbiased traditional news source I've been able to find.

I've worked in IT Security for a number of Fortune 500 companies and saw a guy get fired because he brought his work laptop from the U.S. to China (over a year ago).

This was because there have been documented cases where, at Customs in the airport, government workers can take the laptop, quickly image it, and give it back to you without you ever knowing and they now have a copy of your device.
