Having 20 year sentence on the books for something that isn't rape or murder is barbaric in my opinion.
- gruez 4y agoDid you miss the footnote?
- duringmath 4y agoNope. Didn't even click it. Prosecutors use the arduous court system to force their victims to accept pleas.
- gruez 4y agoThat might be true, but it still doesn't change the fact that you're unlikely to get 20 years for accessing tiktok over VPN. You might get some sort of prison sentence (or none, too lazy to look up the exact guidelines), but saying 20 years is pure hyperbole.

- concordDance 4y agoHe's doing an apple's to apples comparison in his head: Rapists get a headline sentence of 20 years, so VPN users getting the same sentence is insane.
- wonnage 4y agoNo you see, you guys gotta read his footnote about a wholly unrelated topic
- matheusmoreira 4y ago> saying 20 years is pure hyperbole The law says "up to 20 years". Therefore, american citizens can be imprisoned for 20 years over this bullshit. Don't minimize it.
- ifdefdebug 4y ago> unlikely to get 20 years ... 20 years for being a teenager and watching shitty vlogs and memes? "unlikely" doesn't cut it, anything less than "impossible" should be unacceptable. > You might get some sort of prison Again: WHAT? go to prison for watching shitty vlogs and memes? You guys are really reaching Saudi Arabia levels with this law, how can you be so complacent with that?
- ChrisRR 4y agoThe footnote is irrelevant, the guidance says you shouldn't, but the law says you legally can. The latter is enforceable, the former is just a recommendation
