And if the US congress gets its way, this might be a route to secure communication after they ban VPNs

    Specifically they’d go after commercially available VPN’s used for privacy and anonymity, not in-house jobs done by companies. Taylor Lorenz had a piece on this recently.

      So like, just banning VPN provider companies? e.g. NordVPN and the like?

      Seems silly to me, yea sure that would probably cut out some people. But if you’re determined enough it’s not hard to go rent a cheap VPS and roll your own VPN using wireguard.

      Idk, just seems messy
