Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're Doing
It's unfortunately no longer enough to force websites to check your government-issued ID before you can access certain content, because politicians have now discovered that people are using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to protect their privacy and bypass these invasive laws. Their solution? Entirely ban the use of VPNs.

![I’m stepping back from LinkedIn. I will leave a profile up, with this caveat pinned - but I will stop all notifications, etc. If you want to message me, I suggest using michael@lawrie.work [open up the spam-gates!]
The site has gone from a fairly benign job-site to a social media enterprise that actively encourages, promotes and rewards open racism, gender & sexuality hate, billionaire worship, and outright worker abuse.
I didn't like it when it was a battle of the influencers for more and more likes; I don't like it now that it's become a full-on Nazi bar.
As the saying goes: "If there’s a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis."

What the Ronald Reagan ad that got Trump so angry was really all about | CNN Business
President Donald Trump has canceled trade negotiations with Canada over what he called a “fake” ad that featured parts of an anti-tariff speech delivered by conservative hero and former President Ronald Reagan. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute also said the ad misrepresented the former president’s words.
