This read to me that the intent is to be better able to track and measure and control employees productivity on the job. And this could also be sold to other employers.

I think they phrased it poorly by saying using other privacy tool makes leta “useless”. Because you’re correct, using a VPN or other privacy tool doesn’t change how it works. Just that the privacy benefit VPNs provide is also offered by Leta, hence making this specific benefit redundant.

Also, there is nothing wrong with redundancy, it can be a legitimate strategy too.

??? It’s “useless” if you use other privacy-focused tools in your browser or internet connection?

The phrasing is weird. I guess the more privacy-focused tools you have, the more features in Leta becomes redundant.

For most people Leta can be useful, as the above conditions cannot ever truly be met by systems that are available today.

But I guess this line implies using Leta will guarantee completeness? I guess this implies it is difficult to completely block all possible tracking technologies on our own with the tools and systems we have available to us.
