Banning VPNs is quite a serious move.
Geeze I hope I don't...slap tailscale on a vps
What if we all started using I2P for most stuff? The governments couldn't do anything about it.
It's not so easy to ban VPNs. They need to setup DPI everywhere. And then people will start using DPI circumvention software.
Man I can't follow UK politics. I thought Labour was a progressive party
For starters, the whole "Progressive" thing is an American concept born out of the American environment (with its very deep religious moralistic strain amongst a large fraction of the population) and does not really applicable to Britain because, at least until recently, they didn't really have regressive tendencies.
Beyond that Labour hasn't been Leftwing since Tony Blair took over in the 80s and started talking about it being New Labour - they're Neoliberals and quite strongly so, so pretty rightwing.
What they did was performative Identity Politics like in the US: theatrics in the Moral space to make them seem different from the other mainstream party, rather than actually having genuine Liberal Principles.
Of late they even ditched that and seem to be trying to outfascist the Fascists.
