The European Union is now openly restricting VPN access as part of its expanding online age-verification system, which demonstrates precisely where the entire digital agenda has been heading from the beginning.
@sendpaws @freepatriot Give it a few years and you'll have mobile Internet shudowns with only a government-approved site/app whitelist.
@mint @freepatriot "see, internet shutdowns are a good thing because it fights transphobia, CHUD"
@sendpaws @freepatriot At best there'd be a TURN proxy for videocalls on X the everything app you could briefly repurpose as a gateway to your VLESS/Xray/sing-box/whatever servers, for all five seconds until your accounts gets flagged for suspicious activity.
@mint @freepatriot picrel is how I predict the techbros on Telegram chats who work for bling bling tech companies will react. They'll seethe but when push comes to shove, they need to have the ERP logs go through somehow.
a lot of websites (such as 4chan when you post) are "detecting" VPN users and ban them from accessing the website. Their logic is "if you have nothing to hide" then you can give them your real home IP complete with your geolocation and everything.
The trouble is these detections are fairly good, since they broadly cover all datacenter IPs. It basically creates a two class system on the internet, "client IPs" that come from mobile carriers or home broadband, and datacenter IPs, that can only access servers, not websites for consumers.

@freepatriot who specifically is restricting vpns? (not saying they don't, just haven't seen it)
@freepatriot they're trying to do the same in the USA. Meanwhile the people who would fight against this are too busy feuding over pronouns and using detached irony to fight people they hate, maybe eeking out a "safe" fedpost or two to give the palantir drones ammo.
