It just makes me think that neocons will come after vpns soon.
They can try, we see how compliant the US was during Covid. Imagine that, but now the resistance is on both sides. VPN bans is gonna cause riots.
With the FCC unable to enforce net neutrality, they don't even have to ban VPNs. Just hide some legislation inside an unrelated bill to give $250M to internet providers on the condition that they throttle VPN connections to 100 Kbps*, which those greedy fucks will happily accept.
*Likely worded as a stipend to improve the infrastructure, but only as long as the infrastructure is not used to aid terrorism™.
