    I know right? Egypt, Tanzania, China, India, Iran, Iraq, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Turkey, Turkminestan, The UAE, Belarus, and Russia all have laws outright banning or restricting (you know, not business but individuals [yes, they can do that]) VPN usage.

    But it won’t happen here! You can take that to the bank.

      They’re legally banned but that has not stopped the use of VPNs in the countries that tried to ban them, there are already multiple ways around the efforts to stop them.

        Legally banned = electronics seized, fines, and jail time when they catch you circumventing it and decide they want to make an example out of you.

        I’m sure that won’t ever be used negatively or to target specific groups like investigative journalists and whistleblowers.

        You not taking it seriously and trying to convince others to not take it seriously won’t make a better outcome.
