I'm usually interested in a VPN for privacy, using a VPN provided by Google feels like I'd have been less privacy.

It's an easy way to bypass dumb states anti porn laws for those that already pay for extra space.

There are anti-porn laws?

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Sort of. Texas and others instituted laws where websites have to age verify anyone looking at porn. So a bunch of websites just geofenced off those places. The easy way to watch porn is to connect to a VPN or go to shittier sites.
