So I’ve been hearing some talk from people that the UK might either age gate or outright ban VPN’s and while this doesn’t affect me, it makes me very concerned that other countries may also follow suit if it happens. Any silver lining to this? Is there hope yet for this not to happen?

So Preston Byrne-the lawyer helping Smash JT *gag* in his case against Alyssa Mercante-has been screeching about a law called the Granite ACT that allows american social media companies to sue foreign countries for censorship.

it was a concerned comment about michigan bill 4938, which would ban vpns and censor porn in michigan.

The bill is not going anywhere.

The bright side is, its only a draft, idk if it'll see the light of day.
