Many #UK Users Soon Won't Be Able to Access #Pornhub https://www.404media.co/uk-pornhub-blocked-age-verification-vpn/ #nsfw #porn #privacy #Onlin...

Next up will be a VPN ban. Many tech-y people will see that and think “lol yeah well that’s not going to stop *me* from using a VPN” A VPN ban isn’t really stop you from using one. It means when they catch you doing so, they’ll use the fact you’re using this harmless technology itself as a *pretense* to lock you up without needing to do any “hard work” (i.e. an investigator’s job) like actually confirming whether you committed a real crime. Don’t think you won’t be impacted just because you know how to outsmart an ISP filter! This is not a plan to protect children or stop you from consuming adult media. It is a ploy to eventually eliminate ALL freedom of expression and free access to information in the UK. And the same goes for Chat Control and encrypted messengers, btw #UKpol #VPNban #PornHub #ChatControl #Privacy #FreeSpeech #SocialMedia View quoted note →

This shit just made me switch to @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net https://stateof.mozilla.org

Mozilla says they have $1.4 billion “in reserves (no debt)” and that still isn’t enough for them to focus on making Firefox good? Mozilla being an epic failure of an organization was never about a lack of money. View quoted note →
