It’s more of recognition that the internet is not the Wild West it used to be. Your anonymity is dependent on how much you are worth to track, and that value shrinks every day. If you want to buy cheaper video games, or watch geo locked Netflix content you are fine… for now. But the US government has been offering VPNs for people wanting to be anonymous for a wile now. So its not extreme for china to do it too.
Probably, but any thought that VPNs keep you anonymous to anyone other then script kiddies and minor companies is fool hardy
No, you just never had a point
Then what is the point?
You don’t win fights against cops in court. Best case scenario, the public pays the cost to cover your suit.
But your point was that people have rights in the US. My point is a right on paper but at the discretion of the police, is in practice, not a right.
The police can and do, which is what they are enforcing here
THANK DUCKING CHRIST! you have no idea how much this will lessen my work load. Now if they could do that for excel…
I mean you could do that remotely, but there is a an assurance that someone is putting some meat on the line.
But eventually i think we are going to reach Onicron: Nomads Soul, territory. Where you rent a car service on call, there’s no parking and the cars are always running, and cycled out for cleaning and bullet hole filling.
Ahh, your standard game of space station 13 i see.
You really quickly lost the veneer of respectability here. You got too greedy and showed your hand. You see the plan goes you poke at the small kernel of truth, and when someone brings up your candidate who is by all accounts far worse, you play along and agree with this person. You can’t win a direct comparison, so don’t try. You just have to whittle away at the hope for a better future until you get what you want!
/s
I don’t recall anyone asking who is worse.
Yea it didn’t even end with “it’s snowing on mt. Fuji”
I am sure that a VPN can obfuscate my location. But its a hassle that most people will not do. And you must not be in Virginia, because you would know that the ISP did not need to get involved. Use your vpn and spoof as in VA. You will see the companies comply with the order to remain legal. The reputable ones have a vested interest to stay legal, and can be reached via legal means. The ones that pedal revenge porn and other exploitation? Not so much. The amount of sites that are not reachable is very large, when your search would begin at the 4th page of a search engine query for porn, you are no longer in safe waters
In Virginia, they are required to gather personal information and that’s weird. So its just not available here. But when you think of it, porn hub went to great lengths to minimize the problems with the industry. And these sort of regulations are doing the same thing that prohibition did. Push normal citizens into interacting with seedy elements, dangerous situations, and exploitation.
He seemed to really like knitting though.
