  I had big Gavin Belsom vibes with this one

  "Why is it that when I type my own name into my own company search engine, the fucking Internet rains shit‑bolts down on me? I want this to stop!”

  One app maker told the BBC it had seen an 1,800% spike in downloads. “Many of these free VPNs are riddled with issues,” said Daniel Card, a cyber-security expert with the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS).

  “Some act as traffic brokers for data harvesting firms, others are so poorly built they expose users to attacks.”

  He told the BBC despite posing a range of potential privacy risks, such apps “end up in the hands of kids trying to watch age-restricted content”, or adults “trying to get round blocks”.

  Ah yes, there it is: won’t anyone think of the children. I expected that argument higher up.

  I don’t think this is only true for your nation. I mean, I’m from Belgium, not only did this nation massacre a lot of people, it also provided the uranium for the Manhattan Project and the ensuing Little Boy dropped on Hiroshima.

  It’s not (per se) nations that get the worst out of us, it’s the power structures behind that nation.
