It’s a slippery slope. Soon they will make doing illegal things a crime.

Oh. Making something illegal illegal again? That’ll be effective.

But not if they’re the ones doing the illegal stuff, apparently.

Brb connecting to a Chinese VPN so I can access content outside of the US Firewall.

They could take it a step further and threaten penalties for doing illegal things.

It’ll be super duper illegal

If you read the bill, heavily sponsored by the MPA, part of it is about forcing ISPs (and presumably US based VPNs) to block the DNS/URLs of “foreign criminal” sites.
It’s laying the groundwork for a Great American Firewall.

If you use a US-based VPN, you fucked up yourself.

Viva la Mullvad. I was sick of being bullied into buying more to get a deal. It may not be the cheapest, but I love that it’s the same price across the board.
Plus, the only way you’re going to get anything cheaper is by locking into a 1-3 year plan when you may not even need it every month.

I’m locked into ExpressVPN for a year but I was thinking about switching to Mullvad shortly. ExpessVPN isn’t bad but being in the British Virgin Islands does give me a bit of anxiety.

So many long games are being played now, it’s like everything is laying groundwork for something else. Would be nice for laws to just do what they do.
