My VPN is in Switzerland, they have strong protective laws, for now.
Guess we’ll all have to download and prepare to share!?!
I hope it stays private, I read an article similar to this one that I hope doesn’t go through.
Parental controls: exist
Law makers: But what if we made people submit really sensitive information instead of requiring websites to identify themselves as adult for the purpose of content filters?
What, parents actually parenting and monitoring what their children do? Talking with them about being online?
Granted I say this sarcastically and then mom and dad both fall for AI garbage on Facebook yet again so maybe I should rethink that they are even capable of having a discussion on critical thinking
The irony being this sort of thing will make people more used to sharing very sensitive information online and more likely to fall for phishing attempts. Like the parents who couldn’t figure out parental controls in the first place probably are.
Stop blaming individuals for systemic problems
Is there a joke I’m missing?
I think the UK recently enacted a law requiring photo ID for accessing porn sites. A VPN can get around this.
Thanks
Yes. Thanks for the footy
Also gaming sites, any nsfw marked channel on discord even if its for memes, certain games on steam, just a shit ton of stuff that I expect to keep expanding beyond the scope of porn.
To save costs on VPN services, Rsync the wank bank for all your mates to share. This month it’s Daves turn so expect lots of scat but I did put in a request for incest too.
Alabama or West Virginia?
What’s the difference between Alabama style and West Virginia style incest?
Pretty much just the side dishes: Alabama dunks it in sweet‑tea BBQ sauce while hollering “Roll Tide,” West Virginia soaks it in moonshine, hands you a pepperoni roll, and cranks “Country Roads” on repeat. Same brochure; just different tailgate menus.
West Virginia has it right; I don’t know what a pepperoni roll is but what’s incest without moonshine? That’s like a thorn without a rose.
The rose is the moonshine in this scenario?
I guess it depends how attractive your family is 🤷♂️
What’s the schedule on airdropping porn mags into the UK woods?
Saw a comment saying the ID process accepts any ol’ ID sample pic you find from a quick image search online.
1 million McLovins beating their meat while the government watches from the cuck chair.
Oh yeah I should try that. Wanted to try an AI image for the selfie and discord failed to load the service to verify age. Lost interest at that point.
More interested in things that blocked the UK than things that demand ID tbh.
Some ask you to move your eyes or turn your head so a blender model is better for that
Footy?
Sick skateboard footage taken with a $100 camcorder and a wide angle lens.
Stackin footy refers to the action of going out and filming yourself and friends skateboard for video parts.
You sarcastic bastard, that was a beautifully crafted reply. Also, TIL
Fussy
What are you, German?
Football I would guess
Football aka soccer
It’s the category that some will search once they buy VPN access
“Footy”?
Short for football
Which is long for soccer.
Which is, in turn, short for association football
TIL!
Which is long for FA
The punchline is porn.
dude porn lmao
I’m all for VPN services, but I seem to recall some sketchy things about Proton in particular - anyone have any alternatives they like?
Mullvad
As a new user of proton… Id like to hear what you think is sketchy. I haven’t heard anything negative.
Their CTO made Twitter posts praising Trump for some of his appointments
Thanks for replying. What do you use instead?
I’m going to switch to Mullvad. Just need to sit down and do it. Maybe this weekend.
And sorry, it was the CEO, not CTO. Here’s a source

Thanks bud.
FYI it’s not like he’s pro-MAGA or anything. He’s a known liberal supporter in fact. All he did was tweet that Gail Slater was a good nomination. Personally, I think it’s a good thing to praise one’s political enemies on the rare occasion they do something good. Here’s an article with a deeper look.
@lagoon8622@lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works
Well, thanks for the context. I still hate the tweet. The tweet itself didn’t promote a specific nom – it promoted Republicans
To steelman him for a sec – just as it’s good to call out your own team when they do something wrong, it’s also a virtue in many people’s minds to acknowledge when the other side does something good. You can say the rules are different if the other side are fascists and we just have to punch them, but (a) I don’t think that it was clear to everybody in the first weeks of Trump’s presidency exactly how fascist things were going to be (this was when he’d gotten ceasefires don’t forget) and (b) I still wouldn’t consider it a cancellable offence either way, even if it’s misguided liberal behaviour.
Anyway, such behaviour tracks with being a liberal, and I’m not at the point yet where I’m wanting to cancel people for being liberals.
Biden was the one who secured the ceasefire in Gaza
Okay, thanks for the context. I caught the initial blowup when I was looking at VPN options originally, but never heard any of the follow-up.
Really? It’s been widely reported. But Proton has spent a lot of time and money to get seen by users who wouldn’t have heard about the negative stuff. Even here on Lemmy the amount of pro-proton posts has gone up a lot since the bad stuff came out, it’s pretty blatant.
Here’s what I was remembering; the Proton CEO had praise for some of the new Trump admin’s anti-trust statements last January, and seemed to support them more generally.
What ended up happening with that? It looked like he tried to walk it back, and maybe didn’t intend for that to use the official Proton account?
Listen man. There are no non sketchy VPN there never has been there never ever will be. Period. All you can do is the least worst one and that is proton today. Might be someone else tomorrow. If anyone tries to tell you anything different they are a liar or ignorant.
Mullvad VPN?
Good for now could be bad tomorrow. Could be bad now we’ll find out tomorrow. I covered this in my comment. The ignorants I covered also have been in my comment down voting.
But VPN to the UK is one of the best ways to watch football.
What about all the footy fetishists? 😌

while all fair criticisms, name a country that hasn’t? it’s pretty much just the history of people.
and then weren’t communists during the cold war
Neither was Russia /hottake
