  • I hope the internet is prepared for when VPNs will be targeted. A LOT of free access to the internet nowadays hinges on the use of VPNs and I have been dreading the day when corpos and politicians finally catch up to that fact for some years now. Remember when credit card companies removed themselves from Pornhub as a payment method after just one article from about exploiative material on the platform?

    Just think about the consequences when you will only be able to subscribe to VPNs through bitcoin. I know, subscribing with your credit card isn’t the smartest move in regards to privacy, but it works for a lot of stuff that isn’t that dramatic (e. g. circumventing geoblocking).

    I don’t think we’re that far away from the endgame for the free internet. Enshittification is just the first step. When that eventually doesn’t work out, they will come for VPNs and stuff like the fediverse.
