Now they're going after VPNs.
*Pay attention* to what's happening in places like Turkey, India, Russia and China — and how tech companies are complying, or not, with state surveillance. As we've seen in the past month, they'll do the same when prompted here.

The real pain is that I can’t use it for its primary purpose and connect to my client’s network because it is blocked.
They can do as they wish
If usa companies don’t want to comply. Good. More money for Chinese companies that respect local sovereignty. Whatever regime type.
Stop usa imperialism thinking like this tweet. Deeply ingrained in usa culture

i hope I'm able to leave before _they_ turn my homeland into another DPRK
They claim it's for the client's protection as there is "suspicious activity" from those IPs.
No business is going to flip, say, India the bird as India will just then ban the company.
This "pay attention" scare crap is clickbait
Of course they‘ll try to control the complete narrative.
Orwell wrote it all down long ago.
They don't understand that they destroy an unbelievable amount of businesses if they prohibit the usage of VPNs.
And in a hundred years the history books will look exactly the same, and the students saying, "Why didn't anyone do anything?" will be exactly the same.
FFS you know Luigi was right.
But you took violence out of the discourse, so guess what? They're not scared of you. They do what they want.
Violence is a last resort, but it is, and should be, still there. They dismantle the institutions and leave you at the last resort. Which is what....? Just die? Slavery?
VPNs are incredibly valuable for personal security and privacy.
We have *a right* to be able to move around undetected, online and off-line.
Maybe the trots are correct and all praxis is done offline?
So media, git, documents, maybe mastodon or lemmy...
Why the hostility?
Are any of these intractable problems? You're the dev, so I assume you're across infra, and everything and know all there is to know.

Why do you need an app store to run a VPN?
Internet is not usable without vpns in turkey. I don't know who wrote them the code-
It's fucked up, I really hope tech companies get some fucking spine againsts the (people that I can't insult without risk of jail)

2. Pixel VPN still exists: Pixel phones have a native VPN feature called "VPN by Google".
3. No blocking of other VPNs: While Google has discontinued its own VPN, it does not actively block users from using other third-party VPN services.
(I do not work with, for, or use the products at Linode. This is just a link to one guide of many possible.)

Installing an app and some configuration is do-able.
Requiring Linux and advanced networking knowledge of tech most people have not even heard of is not accessible.
Look at where the companies have been founded.
Which countries defend privacy most fiercely and work from there.
Not going to directly name in case they get zapped but those companies exist and they will tell anyone who demands they log to bog off.

I'm experiencing way more cross platform targeting than I did previously with the same relied on settings & safeguards.
Plus it's much harder to undo or block the source/s.
From Neuralink to the enshitification of social networks to unregulated AI - we’re building the very surveillance state they warned us about.
Anonymity online has a target on its back. Age-verification, digital IDs, VPN bans are all ways of closing off the internet and increasing surveillance.

But those laws are potentially coming to the US now.
any other country where you have access to VPNs don't actively try to invade your privacy, not unless you're doing something illegal
this ain't gonna fly elsewhere, considering India is a 3rd world country
thanks for clarifying that (don't always understand the message)
Who hurts age verification? Minors in online casinos?
Any bit about safety is a lie.
It's about maintaining the status quo in their favor.
