[OT] Kremlin Blocks VPNs
Well, not exactly.
According to today's London Times, "a new law restricting software used to surf the internet anonymously has come into effect in Russia as part of a wider clampdown on on-line freedoms". At first glance I though that could be good. Hate trolls could be identified. Then I realised that I had not read it properly or considered the full implications. Well, I really don't know enough to work out whether it is good or bad. Opinions everyone? -- Mageia 5.1 for x86_64, Kernel:4.4.82-desktop-1.mga5 KDE version 4.14.5 on an AMD Phenom II X4 Black edition. |
