Every vpn is used by "cybercriminals" who post "illegal memes" - that's exactly why noone will belive authorities now. Mixing real crimes with memes and FB posts - not the best idea, is it? Also the internet is used by criminals, and oh, you wil blackout when i drop it: kitchen knives are used by c...

... and so it begins...

Where were these servers physically located?

so, since they have not found a way to regulate them, they are going to close all the servers that are in each country using the excuse that criminals used it?

Funny to see this ~1 week after our overlords in the EU complained about how people are using VPNS to circumvent online KYC.

Perfect environment for nostr vpn to shine. The cat and mouse fight regarding vpns would be fun to watch

That's sad. We are ready for this fight. Hopefully it does not get to that. We have some BCP plans for the escalation of tyranny. We do need more subscribers to roll it out.

Man this is so sad. "It was used by criminals" is their argument? Everything is used by a "criminal" so everyrhing can get banned by that logic.

Enable a #vpn on your phone and be astonished how many apps stop working. Some will actually call you out for using a vpn, some will just not work.
