> 2034: VPNs are mostly outlawed worldwide

We're veering towards Chinaesque authoritative regimes if that's the case. A social credit score could be down the line for the West, unless we fight for the future we want. And by fight, I don't mean lurking on Internet chat-rooms complaining, I mean literal protests in the streets and donating half your income to the EFF and other freedom fighting initiatives.




certainly not that far fetched.

...call me what you will, but I know what I am, and why I do what I do. What you call me changes not what I fight for.

If behaving is defined as kowtowing to authoritarian control mechanisms, and furthering the goals and reach of tyrants, then I unabashedly aim to misbehave.
