    I’m a Michigander. This will not pass the Governor’s desk, nor the house. However, it is a sign that the Christo-Fascist right is getting more comfortable and we can’t afford to give them an inch, or they will take a mile of porn away.

      I appreciate your view on this. Just because something won’t pass doesn’t mean it isn’t cause for concern.

      Don’t be naive… This has nothing to do with porn or gooners.

    VPNs are used for remote work everywhere. They just going to instantly have everyone that does remote work just lose their job?

      Most idiots associate vpns with piracy and porn and have no idea the intended purpose.

      They don’t care about porn, it’s a gateway to restrict vpn ownership countrywide and take anonymity away from users.

      If that were true, Nonce Trump would have never made crypto, and TOR would have never existed.

      This is plain old Heimtückegesetz at play. Stop illusionary truth effecting the threadiverse.
