I did, but then I realised I'm wrong about the VPN thing.

I was thinking of the RESTRICT act from 2023, which did ban the usage of VPNs (and was the "Original" Tiktok ban law)

Apparently in the year and change I spent not really caring (look, this is an American problem, y'all slam your metaphorical penises in the car door at least three times a day. And I have my own country's dick-slammings to care about. I only hear about it when it's particularly egregious or when I see a meme like this that is cheering for the dick-slamming) the RESTRICT act got shot down, and another one was quickly drafted.

The one that was approved does not ban VPNs. So. That's on me. My b.

Anyway, given y'all are under Trump's thumb now, I give it eeeeh six months before RESTRICT 2: Censorship Boogaloo starts making the rounds.
