I love living in the freedom country, not like those other, nonfreedom countries where shady unnacountable secret police organizations spy on you all the time.

This won't stop drug sales, it'll just make them sneakier. Fools.

Fucking Jeanne Shaheen. I'm from NH, I've unfortunately had to vote for her repeatedly. She is going to go to her grave an unrepentant drug warrior. I absolutely loathe the Clinton generation of neolib Democrats, they cannot die off fast enough.

She also voted against student loan debt relief multiple times, unsurprisingly.

I’ll just leave this here

Edit: I misinterpreted - I thought this was focused on ISPs and identifying customers that go to sketchy marketplace sites through inspection of DNS logs. If you’re buying drugs on Facebook market place or something like that and are not expecting to get caught… have fun in prison, I guess? It’s Meta. You don’t have privacy on their products. If you do sketchy shit on any of their platforms, you should expect to get caught.

I don’t think a pi-hole will help with that.
