Comment on Thoughts on the recent Swiss law that might require ProtonVPN to start blocking certain domains?

  But this has nothing against privacy just piracy.

    This is a form of the “Nothing to hide” fallacy.

    Privacy is what protects you against criminal charges or being banned by your ISP

  Why “notoriously” though?

    I don’t know how to answer that.

      I believe “notorious” is used in negative contexts. I was curious why Switzerland being respectful of privacy would be a bad thing.

        no, that’s not what notorious means. It just means a lot of people know about it.

  You people are going to hate me for thid but it’s not a privacy concern if they block piracy domains ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Cool.

    In other news, Swiss law makers claim opening and reading all mail sent to make sure it doesn’t include the phrase “monty bojangles” is “not a privacy concern”

    My point is that in order to block a specific domain, you necessarily need to check it against a list of all legitimate domains being accessed
