    Political theater. “Won’t somebody think of the children?” is an easy win for politicians.

        Yeah the point is just to soften the populace to the idea. Our fucking PM covered for pedophile priests in a Catholic school 30 years ago, he doesn’t give any fuck about kids.

      Except it’s fucking awful to wait for buffering over Tor or a VPN

        If you are paying for a VPN and you have buffering problems, change to another VPN, that one is shit.

        Could be worse. Could be you’re in the early 90s with only a 56k modem.

        Why use Tor? It’s been compromised for years now. Just use I2P. You can torrent with that too.

              I mean, neither does the Web by now.

              allow region blocked people to circumvent restrictions? AFAIK it still does that.

                That’s not the sole purpose of it. The way it does it was what was important. And that method is flawed.

                  People using to to circumvent location based restrictions may not care about the anonymity feature of Tor. They just want pron. At least until the fascists start arresting viewers.

        My VPN’s perfectly fine. To be fair, it’s not a free plan of a VPN that’s heavily throttled, but I can even play multiplayer FPS games with only a few milliseconds of additional delay, and my overall max upload and download speed is almost exactly identical to when I have my VPN off.
