And inadvertently kill the work-from-home economy.

Remember when they said Muslims were the threat to us all.

Wait, we did what?

I apologize for not noticing on behalf of my Virginia brethren. Could be because the ship I captain sails the high seas and a VPN is standard issue for those of us who follow the code.

Hell, I’m not even in the mood and I feel like I have to do a quick check…for research purposes.

The internet really only has two things you can’t ban. Porn and cats. Pretty much everything else is potentially a target.

Doesn’t mean they can’t try, and restrict your personal freedom in the process. If people are using VPN to commit a crime, the solution is to try and ban the use of VPN.

FTFY: The internet really only has one thing you can’t ban. Pussy.

Literally the most predictable outcome.

Remember when they said Muslims were the threat to us all.
