        It’s impossible to ban all VPNs. And even if they somehow do it, you can get a VPS(virtual private server) from one of the cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure etc.) and host your own vpn service (OpenVPN, Algo, Vultr). You don’t need to know a lot about it, there are step-by-step guides for it.

    Whenever someone says, “who cares, proton VPN is free,” I get a bit sadder. If Proton ever drops the free tier, honestly? I’ll understand. Because God knows, seeing people who can’t be fucked to give a damn about open access to information using costly infrastructure to watch their shitty porn, I might’ve just cut it already.

    “Verification is carried out by 3rd party”. Totally no potential to misuse of collected data.

      Well at least it’s not going to the federal government so it should be somewhat safe

        The third party has a very secure agreement to very securely sell data to 572 advertising partners and that is very securely being bought by the FBI.

        Not that outlandish, since the FBI and the US police already buys advertising data streams to get access to data they are prohibited to collect directly.

        It’s so bad there are already middlemen who buy data and compile it into products for law enforcement.

    The whole porn ban thing is probably my all-time favorite example of conservatives voting against themselves.

    Meanwhile, in California, I can watch all the porn I want without registering myself in a database and walk down the street to the weed store. And the women in my life still have rights over their own bodies.

    So I guess Democrats are actually the party of freedom.

        California is bad for voting to keep prison slavery and refusing to solve the housing crisis with a council housing system much like the UK used to have.

          Perfection is the ultimate enemy of good. I’d rather be in a place like California than some red state where I have to upload my ID to look at boobs.

    Guilty Canadian Admission:

    In my teens I lived in Brockville Ontario near Ogdensburg New York and watched a lot of US channels. The Star Spangled Banner came on at the beginning of the broadcast day for some channels.

    For many years, I thought the first line was “Jose can you see”
