  I just remember how Roscomnadzor started banning everything

  • they’ve banned 127.0.0.1

  • they banned all telegram IP ranges, downing card payments in the country

  • they learned how to ban wireguard in the whole country, effectively ruining a lot of internal contours

        Valid. There’s no practical way of implementing a blanket ban on VPN. Hell, I’ve set up a VPN tunnel to the UK that I use for work. I wish them the best of luck, while I grab my popcorn.

        If a ban were to be implemented, there would be no way of enforcing it.

  It would make the public hate the politicians who came up with the online safety bill in the first place

    Nah. Shit will just be broken and insecure and the normies won’t know who to blame until they’re told “hackers”.

      I think most people are smart enough to realize what is going on.

        I don’t. In the U.K. you have people listening to Farages lies for the third time.
