It’s now explicitly against Disney Plus’s policies for Canadian subscribers to share passwords outside of their household.

Did you know that jellies have fins? Crazy world

We can joke now, but we won’t be once they lobby the governments to make VPNs illegal

I always see this, but lobbying to make VPNs illegal is stupid and will never pass. So many companies use VPNs for their own security measures, they’d never allow something like that to pass.

Now that ungodly encryption back door law the UK passed, that could happen.

How about “illegal for private non business use?”

Imagine getting arrested or fined for trying to protect your own privacy. Like what the fuck.

Sorry to break it to you, but that's probably the future

I see so you don't live in the US?

No, I do. It’s just insane to think about.

I mean afaik the NSA is watching people who protect their privacy especially

I'm happy Canada doesn't really care about pirating. I have a VPN setup but it's just set to a city a few hours from me for a bit of extra precaution.

Also you don't need a VPN for Usenet :)

doesn't usenet cost money?

Not very much. Someone has to host that data and that costs money.

I need to look into usenet then, from what I understood its very location based? Seeing im in scandinavia - i should look for something close?
