The United States - Freedom of Corruption, Indignity and Distrust for All!

I think this comment should be pinned honestly.

VPNs are not required. Instead of egressing on your ISPs network, you’re egressing on someone else’s network. It’s kinda like paying for a second ISP so you can egress your ISP to go encrypted to your other ISP. What does it accomplish other than putting you in another law jurisdiction?

I…what?

How am I paying for another person’s ISP when I’m mooching off of their network to pirate from?

Okay, so the two examples you’ve provided about those VPN services, have nothing to do at all about piracy. One is about cyberstalking and the other was about a child abuse investigation. Those are arguably more serious than piracy in comparison.

At that point do you think you’ll get some form of compensation from the VPN provider?

The fuck are you on?

Confirmation bias.

I think it’s mostly because of how rapid the internet was at becoming more accessible. It was inevitable as to how big it’d become.

And the opinion then changed from that to “The internet never forgets” which was more in the mid-2000s and early 2010s. This is 50/50 because it really depends. Some sites shut down for good, so if there was anything or anyone on it, then we can safely say the internet forgot. But that opinion mostly applies to whenever someone becomes a lolcow or someone who generally does something so stupid online that it’s everywhere. Hence the internet communities not forgetting.

Or about freezing nearly expired foods.

Lol, no.

And within the next four years, it’ll be non-existent.
