But that's a different topic entirely. Either way, banning people from accessing porn sites isn't the solution, whether you think porn is a problem or not. We've already learned this lesson, stop repeating the mistakes of history.
So not only has this not solved the touted problem, it's making people more vulnerable to malicious actors in the process while making the governments of these states look like the very tyrants they profess to oppose. Congrats, dipshits, you played yourselves. How about instead of trying to legislate everything away we instead just let people live their lives as they see fit?

Nobody is going to do the research to find out which ones are trustworthy because they don't know any better.
I use ProtonVPN because I'm already using Proton Mail.

Going to say it because it needs to be said.
If you're still buying games publishes or owned by Microsoft, buying Microsoft products, using Microsoft services, dual-booting Windows for any reason other than work, or helping people use Microsoft products and/or services, you are part of the problem. By engaging in this behavior you are telling Microsoft that you are OK with their practices, even if you're still on Windows 10 or earlier.
