Whenever someone says, "who cares, proton VPN is free," I get a bit sadder. If Proton ever drops the free tier, honestly? I'll understand. Because God knows, seeing people who can't be fucked to give a damn about open access to information using costly infrastructure to watch their shitty porn, I might've just cut it already.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Fortunately, this is easy to work around, just get a VPN hosted in a didn't different state or country.
We have something similar here in Utah, so I have a WiFi network that is always connected to a VPN in a neighboring state. If something isn't accessible, I just swap WiFi networks and I'm good.
So what who cares. VPNs cost money and this is a question of basic freedom.
Free porn is basic freedom?
Accessing it without violating your privacy is the issue, not the cost.
Not all nudity is porn.
I mean yes? It's just videos of naked people...
Me: This is America.
Pornhub: This content is not available in your state due to ID verification legislation.
My VPN: This is Germany.
This is how we lose access to personal encryption
Americans now need a wanking license.
OI OI OI!

Idaho is starting a registry for at-risk men with erections, to prevent impure thoughts. You need to send a picture of your dick, where it will be validated by an evangelical priest.
Life begins at erection.
That's what you voted for. You want republican rule taking away your freedoms. Well now you Floridains have what you wanted and voted for. Don't be mad you made your bed and dont like the sheets.
You know damn well not all Floridians voted for this shit. This is the same kind of out-group bullshit red hat shit bags do. You’re just being intentionally divisive.
I'm sorry but here is a prime example of the Republican party doing dishonest election tactics in Florida and the public masses falling for it. If you don't have enough common sense and fall for such tactics, who is to blame then? https://www.tampabay.com/opinion/2020/12/02/the-name-is-the-same-but-theyre-different-florida-candidates-column/
The whole porn ban thing is probably my all-time favorite example of conservatives voting against themselves.
Meanwhile, in California, I can watch all the porn I want without registering myself in a database and walk down the street to the weed store. And the women in my life still have rights over their own bodies.
So I guess Democrats are actually the party of freedom.
Yeah but could you imagine voting for them?

I am really curious how long it will take them to ban VPNs.
It's impossible to ban all VPNs. And even if they somehow do it, you can get a VPS(virtual private server) from one of the cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure etc.) and host your own vpn service (OpenVPN, Algo, Vultr). You don't need to know a lot about it, there are step-by-step guides for it.
"Verification is carried out by 3rd party". Totally no potential to misuse of collected data.
Well at least it's not going to the federal government so it should be somewhat safe
The third party has a very secure agreement to very securely sell data to 572 advertising partners and that is very securely being bought by the FBI.
Not that outlandish, since the FBI and the US police already buys advertising data streams to get access to data they are prohibited to collect directly.
It's so bad there are already middlemen who buy data and compile it into products for law enforcement.
