Danie van der Merwe@alexhaydock hilarious 😂
Schenkl | 🏳️🌈🦄@alexhaydock The Internet is for Porn!
One cannot block porn!
The Doctor@schenklklopfer @alexhaydock A network requires three things to take off, and porn is one of them.
_maleficentgirlwell they werent wrong with "unstable government"
Ollie 🇪🇺🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇵🇸🇺🇦
Michal Bryxí 🌱@alexhaydock Also a story of a really good PR department.

unstable governments facing internet shutdowns
That’s not too far off from what’s being done here. 
Kagan MacTane (he/him)@alexhaydock This is not a "false alarm". This actually *is* an internet shutdown, just happening in very slow motion.
And the government in question is anything but stable. The Speaker of the House is holding onto his job by his fingernails. I think that 2nd tweet is going to age very poorly.

@kagan My reading is that the "false alarm" part refers to this being an anomaly, I. e. they agree with you.
James Trickle uP@alexhaydock "The Internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it" -- John Gilmore. Latest example: porn viewing in red states via VPN.
Steveg58@opalmirror @alexhaydock
Yeah but that was back when the internet was still a net with many point to point links rather than the hierarchical, straitjacketed bottlenecks we have now.

JWcph, Radicalized By Decency@alexhaydock Not an *entirely* false alarm though...
Hein Ragas@alexhaydock I mean, "unstable government shutting down (parts of) the internet" does fit this situation
Eugen Neuberpart 3: VPN are forbidden for consumers. Companies have to implement pr0n filtering.
RationizedInsanity🏳️🌈🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇵🇸@alexhaydock Glad I don't live in Boise Idaho anymore I guess.
Justin Derrick@alexhaydock “In other news, ProtonVPN will begin hosting a Content Delivery Network for PornHub to reduce transit costs.”
Lilac@alexhaydock tbh, i think they were right the first time (ie not a false alarm)
Juanjo@maltita @alexhaydock Jajajajaja
The Glass Bing@alexhaydock you cant stop the goon ses
Glyph@alexhaydock @mcc I do not think the alarm is “false”, they’ve just determined the specific feature of developing authoritarianism that is driving the observable behavior
Quad@alexhaydock
>Typically, we see such spikes from countries with unstable governments
I mean technically they weren't wrong.

Szymon Sokół 🇵🇱🇪🇺🇺🇦@alexhaydock who could have predicted this? Nobody, absolutely nobody!
PsyMar aka Sam@alexhaydock why not both
although I'll also mention the first time I signed up for a VPN, it was for a third reason: my ISP was having some horrible issues that took them a month to finally fix so I had to use a VPN to get out of my ISP's network at a different endpoint on the opposite side of the country because that was *still* better ping to final fantasy XIV
Eriol@alexhaydock new game: unstable democracy or porn ban?
