It’s not very straightforward to create gmail accounts with proxies, and google loves to randomly ban fresh accounts.

I’m the furthest thing from a conservative, even in Europe I’m on the left. Still, I believe that the massive restrictions on civil liberties in the form of lockdowns are completely unacceptable. I’d explain my arguments, but they’ve been r
