Hello VPN my old friend, Dogsh*t policy they can't defend

People are worried about handing over their personal information to a porn company and/or their smut preferences to their financial institution? Shocking. It’s almost as though the whole idea was poorly conceived and executed.

It does seem to be a bizarre law. So people are actually required by law to go to a newsagent & present ID so that they might be allowed by government to watch porn? Back to the days of “Something for the weekend, Sir?” or the video slipped over the counter in a brown envelope.

And causes a massive rise in free online proxy use.

How I grieved for my online friendPeople who make friends gaming online say the death of those friends is as hard as real-life loss. Modern version of the old time pen pal.

Shame, really. I was part of this group on Habbo Hotel who built a 'Hogwarts Role Play' through a series of connected rooms on the Australian server. Each room was a different classroom or corridor or area of the castle. People played so earnestly and there were very few trolls at that time.
