This photo is from my #worldcruise collection. It's not a recent photo.
I took this photo because from far away I saw a very high mountain (even though the ship was many miles away).
But only after a little while I discovered that it was Ball's Pyramid the highest volcanic sea stack in the world , in the #Tasman Sea (Pacific Ocean) . Better late than never 😅
Who remembers Beverly Hills 90210 , It was one of my favorite TV Show . It's been almost a year since Shannen Doherty (Brenda Walsh) passed away ♰ July 13, 2024 💔 .
A #UAP sighting way back in 2010 , Greenville, SC - 03-16-10
On March 16, 2010... I saw a bright red light coming from a distance. I thought that maybe an airline plane was on fire, and grabbed my camera.
Instead, it was a large triangle plane with a very bright, red strobe in the center of it, (almost like it was on fire).
It seemed to be climbing in altitude. By the time I went to the backyard, it already entered the clouds and was gone!
This happened in Greenville, South Carolina at 8:03 PM.
Thank you,

Whistleblowers, activists, and journalists depend on anonymous VPN services. Requiring identity verification for VPN services would put them at risk. It would also have a chilling effect on online debate (VPNs can help people post anonymously on social media).
In authoritarian countries, VPN services are crucial forcriticizing the government. That is precisely why such governments seek to ban or restrict them. Hopefully, the UK will not join that list.
@taoeffect Then, let’s call it no-logging VPNs. ”Anonymous VPN” implies to the simple user that your identity is kept confidential by using the VPN. But, depending on what you do online and how you do it that’s often not the case.
The point is exactly that the politicians of EU countries, USA, and of others aspire to turn them into authoritarian countries, even if they don't say this explicitly. It's crystal clear, seeing all these laws and law proposals. All of them aspire to become Russia 2.
Whistleblowers, activists and journalists rarely align with ideas like "repatriation". Owner donating 5 million SEK to a rightwing local party is 100% fucked.
the #uk #labourparty were always the ones wanting to snoop the most. When I lived there (which was years ago) they were trying to bring in rules to monitor all calls and internet site visits. By that I mean who you callled or which site you visited. As I assumed they were doing it already, I didn't have a problem with it or see it as a change. Also it was pre-VPN days. They let it slip during a news interview that that the new rules would formalise what they were already doing...
Way too many politicians make decisions in domains where they are clearly poorly informed.
That is not where the problem stops - they are also arrogantly sure of their opinions and rarely heed the advice od experts when they contradict their arrogantly conceived and mostly non-holistic opinions.
Yes, Russia does restrict VPN services. Except everyone here who uses the internet has a VPN, because without one, it's not very usable. It's easier to list what isn't blocked than what is. The government did a quite nice job raising the people's technological literacy.
Hanlon's Razor is wrong. Or maybe incomplete is a better way to say it The more power a person holds or believes to hold, the more likely it is, that one should attribute to malice, what could be explained by stupidity.

not to forget, any legal definition of a VPN can be a) so narrow as to be easily worked around b) so broad as to include many perfectly sensible networking c) both of the above.
if a kid has the wits to use a VPN, they're going to find a way to look at boobs one way or another. Its like all the bad ideas from 2000 come back around again and its up to the perpetually overwhelmed public to get up the energy to slap sense into politicians.
I am glad you are making these, you should make even more in a fewbother BIG Countries. It would be cool if you did this with the age verification, i mean a bilboard abt age verification & how british goverment wants your data
The problem is that Cyberfascists do know that they are spouting fascist bs.!
Look at Zensursula which insulted everyone able to change DNS settings as "hardened Pedo-Criminal" and refused to apologize to this day, literally prompting CSA victims to unite as @MOGiS and tell her to basically 'STFU' and stop abusing them as blanket!

Counters to this are to use a VPN that ignores bams/resrricrions in other countriea, or to bring up the heavy artillery by using Torbrowser. Not even China can consistantly and reliably blockbTor and they have a lor more resources that any US state does.
Not likely the US government wants to pay for and hire for a Great Firewall of America either.
