I may have been a bit too optimistic with my prediction that the EU would ban or regulate VPNs within five years. It looks like they’ll do it within a year.
It terrifies me how many relatively sane people who believe in the EU justify this totalitarian, dystopian practice and explain its necessity.
Something that was considered a totalitarian practice in China or Russia 10 years ago is now seen as a political necessity in the EU as part of the fight against hybrid threats, Russia, child pornography, etc.
Hello!
Based on what it plans and does, the EU is actually showing signs of a dystopian society!
I am currently in developed Japan, and there are no state-enforced cash limits here, no Age Control, no MiCA, DAC-8, or other dystopian EU regulations. Online anonymity is the norm here.
