    lol this legislation might be trash from top to bottom but it sure don’t mean commercial VPNs are a good thing

    contrary to the general opinion i think attaching social media accounts to real identities anonymously (which is remarkably easy to do) will go a very long way to solving the bot, troll, commercial and foreign influence issues with social media. while still being private and anonymous

      To someone in e.g. the USA, doing as you may may literally be the difference between life and death, when agents show up at your door for exercising the incorrect opinion. I presume here that the “anonymous” part is only what is shared with the public, but since you mentioned “real identities” that is the part that is dangerous.
