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.

Be warned:

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

So what who cares. VPNs cost money and this is a question of basic freedom.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago

There are free VPNs as well, such as Proton's free tier, or Tor. So you've got options.

But yes, I absolutely agree that this shouldn't be necessary. My point is that it's largely unenforceable if you put in a tiny amount of effort.

Accessing it without violating your privacy is the issue, not the cost.

Not sure, but it's very ironic coming from "the land of the free". Every day there is an american coming out in the Internet with the classic "you don't have freedom of speech", and then they have to provide a driving licence for a quickie

infinite porn is basic freedom

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

I mean yes? It's just videos of naked people...

The porn is just the first place they start, their plan is to label anything lgbt as pornographic and require a similar process to view basic educational content. This is how they get around the 1st amendment.

Oh yeah I do see the slippery slope of this whole deal, the only thing that irked me was the wording of this comment as if xhamster is a basic human freedom, but I find that a little odd since xhamster and pornhub steal from sex workers to provide it "for free" y'know.

But with the banning of books and trans people unable to get in or out of the country.... It is fucked up and scary.

Seems like it became so, yea

But it's more a question of anonymity / privacy while doing those things
