Every single one of you idiots is fine with paying extra to access a free service. VPN! VPN! Gotta have a VPN to fool everyone!

You didn't need a VPN before, because religious nazis have to control every single fucking thing. Control that porn! Control that "R" rated movie! Control those words in songs! Control the words in books! All religious movements.

Stop supporting religions, you stupid fucks. Requring a VPN is just saying that poor people don't get free porn, because they can't afford a VPN. Which is yet another thing that religious dickheads do.

If you're religious - FUCK YOU!

The big downsides are:

  1. Yet another Internet tax on the poor
  2. Everyone gets worse internet
  3. Most people are woefully unprepared to shop for a VPN from a reputable provider, meaning most people are going to end up subjected to even more surveillance and potentially attacks on their devices.
  4. Most people also are not prepared to manage when to and not-to use it, so will get slower internet all of the time.
  5. This will create lists of VPN users at both the ISPs and the VPN companies that will be usable by later christo-fascist governments.
  6. This will ultimately get laws passed against consumer-facing VPN services, making it harder for people to protect themselves from other attacks.
  7. More honey-pot VPN services will start up to support that list-gathering for future christo-fascist governments looking to build dossiers on as many people as possible.

I could go on and on. And nothing about the above has anything to do with porn.

I was with you until the last sentence. As someone who is not religious in the slightest, I have no problem with people being religious as long as it's not forced in me.

Religions have yet to prove to me they are not just another tribal group that wants control with extra steps.

[-] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Ok? Doesn't change what I said.

[-] tempest@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

I'm saying there isn't a religion that doesn't force it's shit on people.

So basically you're fine with supporting things that hurt others just so long as you're left alone.

r/atheism is that way my dude

If you voted this in, you should be banned from VPNs.

Your search history should be public record.

[-] ShieldsUp@startrek.website -1 points 2 months ago

I don't recall being given the option to vote on this.

[-] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

It would have been during your last state elections, the option with the little “R” next to its name.

[-] webhead@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Our Democrat governor signed it. Why she signed this I still don't really understand. She's been using her veto power quite a bit and yet this one gets to go through. Ridiculous.

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

It's no secret that conservatives want to ban porn for whatever reason.

[-] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 months ago

They mean if they voted trump or for the current admin of the state.

[-] Greddan@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

What a horribly shitty place to live.

[-] BossDj@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

I left about a decade ago. Best decision of my life.

[-] shortwavesurfer@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

In other news, today is "no shit" day.

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

No shock at all.

[-] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Imagine being so stupid that you think Pornhub is the only place to get porn.

[-] snooggums@piefed.world 2 points 2 months ago

It isn't the only place, but it is one of the few where the content is somewhat searchable on top of just having a very large amount of content.

Plus people like to stick with what they know.

[-] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

Have you met the general population?

[-] Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio 1 points 2 months ago

Lol yeah, they've been out of TX for some time now, and it hasn't affected my fapping habits one bit.

The key with a VPN is to buy long term. I got a black friday deal for Proton last year that comes out to two dollars and pennies a month.

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Luckily, you can type VPN entirely with one had.
