Ah, yes … back to the scare tactics that the only use of a VPN is to access CSAM.
Almost Everyone Uses VPNs
Let’s talk about who lawmakers are hurting with these bills, because it sure isn’t just people trying to watch porn without handing over their driver’s license.
- Businesses run on VPNs. Every company with remote employees uses VPNs. Every business traveler connecting through sketchy hotel Wi-Fi needs one. Companies use VPNs to protect client and employee data, secure internal communications, and prevent cyberattacks.
- Students need VPNs for school. Universities require students to use VPNs to access research databases, course materials, and library resources. These aren’t optional, and many professors literally assign work that can only be accessed through the school VPN. The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s WiscVPN, for example, “allows UW–Madison faculty, staff and students to access University resources even when they are using a commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP).”
- Vulnerable people rely on VPNs for safety. Domestic abuse survivors use VPNs to hide their location from their abusers. Journalists use them to protect their sources. Activists use them to organize without government surveillance. LGBTQ+ people in hostile environments—both in the US and around the world—use them to access health resources, support groups, and community. For people living under censorship regimes, VPNs are often their only connection to vital resources and information their governments have banned.
- Regular people just want privacy. Maybe you don’t want every website you visit tracking your location and selling that data to advertisers. Maybe you don’t want your internet service provider (ISP) building a complete profile of your browsing history. Maybe you just think it’s creepy that corporations know everywhere you go online. VPNs can protect everyday users from everyday tracking and surveillance.
So… you are agreeing with a Devil worshiper. His words not mine.
As someone with the Satanic Bible sitting next to my bed, I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.
We should totally get a beer sometime. My ex had a copy in addition to us now being a two-copies-of-Mein-Kampf family. Same damn translation, too.
Can’t say I own a copy of Mein Kampf, though I’ve skimmed parts of it.
It’s one of those books that I’ll read if I feel like reading at some point, but I don’t really want a copy because of how it looks to own one lol.
Satanic Bible’s a lot better since I don’t mind associating myself with Satanism somewhat despite not being religious at all.
Hail Satan bro!
I fucking love Satan.
I’m also an atheist, so not in a theistic sense. He’s just like. Cool.
I don’t consider myself religious at all, but it’s a good read. Nice contrast to the BS that was shoved down my throat growing up.
I’ve skimmed it. I’m more big on the satanic temple kind of satanism than the Laveyan kind but as long as someone has accepted Satan into their heart and is ethical about it then I am supportive.
Never mind I did not see any past posts about yourself being a Devil worshiper.
Wild assumption.
I don’t worship. That’s just plain stupid, at least in my opinion. Books can be read for the sake of reading them. Knowledge isn’t some weird forbidden apple on a tree. It’s something used to make informed decisions in the world.
Please seek therapy. The psychosis is strong with this. The “us vs them” mentality is nothing short of cultish brainwashing. Worship is fine, belief and faith are fine, community building is even cool, but turning it into a cult just justifies my decision to distance myself from religion more.
