it doesn't remove any restrictions unless you are in a country that actually censors
like china
well alot of european nations censor these days as well as alot of the regional blocking on sites like youtube
YT's geo blocking still works if you are using a VPN iirc
same with amazon
I do conceed that its not an amazing step forward lol
I just think that awareness of options is good =p
it's not really a step forward though, it just mitigates full censorship
a step forward would be protocols and technologies that prevent both censorship and throttling
Which in this climate of increasing censorship is a step forward
Oh I whole heartedly agree
the US doesn't fully censor anything besides pedophiles and drug dealers
so idk what you mean
Websites are begining to censor
not really
deciding what can and can not be said or seen
if you are referring to the daily stormer, they actually violated the ToS of their DNS provider
lol no im not im just noticing the trends
ok but
a VPN doesn't stop websites from censoring
but then how is that a step forward
Having options made aware means people can consider things in a broader sense
Im not talking about fixing issues here im just saying that alot of tools are out there and people dont know about them
Any awareness of any tool is a step forward for people
and if it helps aleviate the concerns of others hurray
but in most cases VPNs don't actually help you, especially for websites with ads since they use many forms of browser identification
Well I wouldnt know about all that
good paper
ill give it a read ^^
this is smart
"A pair of California lawmakers want to claw back some of steep tax cuts that corporations will receive under the federal tax overhaul signed last month by President Donald Trump."
That could also be read as "A pair of California lawmakers get greedy and make a move that might drive businesses out of California"
it sure could
and they're dumb
For some reason, this reminds me of Seattle raising it's minimum to $15, causing many of the businesses to shut down, leave, or automate.
what makes these types of lawmakers think that businesses who run on razer-thin margins in many industries are able to survive without passing the costs on to their customers
^ this is the result of that type of thinking
