- 1W6MIC49CYX9GAP 1y agoThey'll just ban those

They'll ban the original website, so you'll have to get it through dodgy means, which means they can insert backdoors for you (unless you're able to verify the code and compile it for yourself).
- sunaookami 1y ago>there's nothing preventing you from making a system look like HTTPS. Did you hear about the Great Firewall? And they just have to say it's to protect "the children"/"democracy"/"to fight disinformation"/"hate speech". You can't beat politics with technology.
- FMecha 1y agoHave you heard of the hush-hush over Chat Control, a recurring theme on this site? It's getting to the point that they could shoehorn that with age verification push.
