A VPN as you refer to it isn't a VPN either. There's no private network that is virtualized. Actual VPN software is like Tailscale.

Apple doesn't allow alternative browsers in those regions, it just does enough to convince the regulatory body that it allows them and the other browsers just don't want to for some reason .

Really none of these VPNs are VPNs either since they don't establish a virtual private network. They are just tunnels for your internet access. Tailscale is actual VPN software. It simulates a private network.

I think a VPN is a great add-on for Firefox and way for Mozilla to monetize itself, but I'm surprised it's free. Perhaps it's a free trial like Proton?

It's not about eliminating voter fraud - it appears to be about eliminating large swathes of legitimate voters, largely in correlation with how they are expected to vote.

Does it? We can live without anyone knowing our age except the entities we tell it to. Is it actually a crime to upload a fake ID photo to a private company for age verification?

On the grounds that there's no law that says someone can put some instructions on their website and you have to follow those instructions. You should consult a lawyer just in case there is such an obscure law, but I don't think th

ICE is tracking people on social media, and the only sign it's happening to you is when they show up to your door with guns and handcuffs. If they could track who was reading subversive content, they would. It's better we don&#x27

The internet has become more hostile since its early days, in multiple ways and one of those ways is that networks spy on you more. They used to inject ads into the content, but that stopped being profitable when the majority went to HTTPS.

I think it includes anything that's in the form of a chronological list of posts and noncommercial. If you made a website instead of a blog, well... you're excluded. It's the small blogosphere, not the small web
