I think the problem is that sharing any opinion can be turned into a controversial one. It the matter of who is the judge. Something you think is acceptable to share may not be deemed acceptable by an opposing party.

I’d replace ”controversial” with ”unique” or ”non-conformist”.

Standing out is risky.

I have never denied the possibility of VPN ban, I have just pointed out the clickbait in the headline.

It’s not like some random article is going to save us from government oppression. Also, does anybody remember ACTA? It was a big deal like 15 years ago and was supposed to end digital piracy. lol

Either the governments don’t really care what we all click at on our personal devices or the technology develops at a faster pace than law. Either way, we are safe. That is, until the the more power-hungry people get in charge.

The headline is a slippery slope argument in action.

If the Internet traffic becomes deeply surveilled, this won’t be by ”ban” means, but by the great firewall means. If it already isn’t surveilled this way.

Never thought about it, thanks for a suggestion

I love obsidian, I wanted to send a donation, but they only sell merch with expensive shipping :<
