  • They weren't false allegations, he openly admitted to, and was convicted of, lying about being a drug user on a form 4473 when purchasing a firearm, and for $1.4M in tax fraud.

  • TOR is great for privacy but obviously awful for daily use.

  • How exactly would the UK Government enforce a law

    Govts don't just not make legislation because they don't know how to enforce it. They make the law, and they figure out the enforcement later. VPS providers will comply because they don't give a single shit about your privacy and aren't going to take the risk.

  • And you think VPSs would be omitted from this legislation?

  • Jesus fuck, I'm so tired of this "everyone who disagrees with me or I don't understand is 'trolling'" nonsense. I can't even be bothered to discuss anything further. Goodbye.

  • I've always wondered why we aren't buying/hacking info about politicians that support anti-privacy legislation from these databrokers and leaking it to the public. If I had the knowledge that's what I'd be doing. I can't think of anything that would be more effective.

  • People are using VPNs to circumvent identity verification, so this solves nothing.

  • Then you've not solved anything because that IP is still unique to you.

  • If you want to look more into that, there's a company called Holepunch that's exploring a lot of that technology. But as a heads up they are funded by a crypto company.

  • Not necessarily. I would argue the primary intent of commercial VPNs is to obscure web traffic data from your ISP.

  • Google Maps ‘limited view’ now hides reviews, images for signed-out users

    Jump

  • That's be nice, but let's be realistic, everyone is signed in, and no one will even notice. This is probably to fight scraping.

    Yet another locked down platform trying to fight the infinite network of bots that is AI scrapers.

  • not every person would want the law bent or ignored for their family

    Probably 99% of people would. Even Joe Biden abused his power to pardon his son. The ones who wouldn't are exceptional.
