We can joke now, but we won’t be once they lobby the governments to make VPNs illegal

[–] spudwart@spudwart.com 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I always see this, but lobbying to make VPNs illegal is stupid and will never pass. So many companies use VPNs for their own security measures, they’d never allow something like that to pass.

Now that ungodly encryption back door law the UK passed, that could happen.

How about “illegal for private non business use?”

Imagine getting arrested or fined for trying to protect your own privacy. Like what the fuck.

Sorry to break it to you, but that's probably the future

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I see so you don't live in the US?

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, I do. It’s just insane to think about.

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I'm happy Canada doesn't really care about pirating. I have a VPN setup but it's just set to a city a few hours from me for a bit of extra precaution.

Also you don't need a VPN for Usenet :)

Not very much. Someone has to host that data and that costs money.

[–] Fjor@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I need to look into usenet then, from what I understood its very location based? Seeing im in scandinavia - i should look for something close?

I subscribe to +, netfix, hulu, prime and all the cable. All my R are perpetually in order though. If i find a show/movie worthy, it gets stowed. If they f me over bad enough to leave, I'm not going empty handed.
