Fuck, they just won’t quit with this bullshit.
Is there anything regular people can do to stop this?
The only thing you can do is protect the intelligensia who can help shape smart policy for a better future whilst also exiling* the billionaires and politicians (mostly the lifetime politicians who have no discernible skills other thank taking bribes and being corrupt pieces of shit).
*exiting or something more dramatic.
Move, Canada is a shit hole
Very helpful, I'll up-root everything tomorrow.
Anywhere you recommend?
China. They will be the next super power and housing is cheap.
Oh yeah, and so little spying and the privacy of their citizens is respected, I know
Right. Like the license plate readers, and backdoor in every operating system, and phone tracking.... Wait we are talking about the US right?
No, the topic was Canada and moving to China for less surveillance and more privacy, my confused friend. The west is regressing to where China already is and then plus some.
If you mean Internet monitoring and social media policing... Wait are we talking about the UK?
You're absolutely right, but if everyone goes authoritarian . . . they are likely to end up on top /s
Maybe I'm missing the vibe here, but are you guys still talking about the subject of this post? If so, just a heads-up: all three apps mentioned in the title have been banned in China for well over a decade.
I'm starting to think that no place is left that isn't turning into a shit hole.
Vpn's are banned there too.
Does Canada care? 😲
Yep. I use all of these, and it would be utter bullshit to lose access over poorly thought out lawmaking.
I assume it's like a lot of things happening in the US. Does America care? Americans care. The country....
Carney is basically pushing the 2015 conservative party program and everyone praises him. The "left" basically doesn't exist anymore in Canada, you have the choice between the right and far-right. I'm so tired.
Just give it another few years, and half the people with the same political views as you will tell you you're equivalent to the far right unless you vote for the right! 🤗
Gonna need a VPN to connect to your VPN.
What you're looking for is a VPS provider.
Meant it as a joke, but this is still helpful information.
Kinda like TOR
I use two of those in the UK as well. Would prefer not to also lose them
Could this be the start?
Of?
