The comment I replied to said: “There are plenty of people with restricted and surveilled internet”, so: through restrictions and surveillance, which is how North Korea, China and Russia mostly goes about it. Prohibiting certain pieces of software (or even algorithms) isn’t exactly something new — morally wrong, absolutely, but nothing new.

Sure, but do you think they’re going to allow Firefox if it comes with a built-in VPN?

Please stop adding bloat to my browser. I have nothing against VPN, but it’s not a fucking core feature of a web browser. Put that stuff in an extension that I can install if I want.

It’s fucking insane how much is invested (both money and natural resources) in the emperor’s new clothes. Let’s scorch the planet because every idiot out there buys into the marketing and hype. We are utterly and truly doomed because of ourselves.
