Lots of shady free VPNs out there from Chinese/Russian companies. Now instead of just letting people watch porn, they'll send their data to a shady/foreign entity. The apps will ask all the permissions, and people who don't know shit, will grant them.

Same thing will happen when they ban Tiktok.

Well done, You played yourself.

Shady American services are OK though.
