Do the VMs only let someone in if they’re running a criminal workload, or how does it work?

Nobody's a criminal, until they are.

I wonder what it would be like to hold no opinions that you could ever imagine becoming controversial enough to get you flagged for investigation of some kind. I live in an intensely polarized country (U.S.), so it's actually hard for me to imagine caring about anything with any level of passion that one party or the other (heck, or both) wouldn't eventually want to put me on a watchlist for.

What's it like to have that much trust in the ongoing goodwill of other people?

> Nobody's a criminal, until they are.

With ever increasing trend of "hate speech" laws popping up, that timetable of "until" is coming up faster and faster for anyone and everyone.

Exactly. Anyone who can't imagine a failure case where they suddenly become a "criminal" because people who disagree with them obtain control of the legislative apparatus haven't read enough history (or have extremely boring opinions).
