Me: This is America.

Pornhub: This content is not available in your state due to ID verification legislation.

My VPN: This is Germany.

My favorite small example of this is trying to watch a video on YouTube. If my VPN is set to United States then im told 'You can't watch this unless you log in.'

I switch to Germany and like magic the video plays. So clearly they didn't need to confirm I wasn't a bot. They just wanted to track my viewing habits.

Didn't knew that

Eh, no need for crazy latency, just get one in Colorado or something nearby.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
