Yeah, fuck all that.
Guess we're transitioning into a VPN only future.
We have the opportunity to head into a utopic or dystopic future and we're absolutely choosing the dystopic one.
A VPN future? Haha. Not if they don't want to. There are many ways to prevent VPN from operating when you're a government.
You can just plain ban encryption, which sounds really crazy, but yeah, they're trying to.
You can just say "it's illegal to use a VPN". It'll technically still work, but if there's a trace of trafic from your house to a known VPN endpoint, you're it! Great!
They can force custom proprietary spying software on your devices. Sounds equally crazy as the thing above, right? But rest assured they're ALSO trying to do that. Multiple times, even. And in some places… they did. Of course, nothing forces you to have such software on your device. Especially if your devices are not supported; it also turns into a "you have to buy this or that big name device, everything else's de-facto illegal! Fuck you, we're the government!". And if you get caught for whatever, and your phone, PC, or anything isn't "compliant"? Bam. Guilty.
Plenty of option. All of them completely stupid and would weaken both privacy, individuals, and governments at large. It never stopped legislation from being pushed forward.

It'll almost certainly be an AI model doing it.
Yeah, this is showing up at roughly the same time we can get (almost) free 5 second video generation from some services, and fast still picture generation on consumer grade hardware. It's the perfect combination of useless, stupid, and obsolete, all in one very pricey and very dangerous precedent-filled package.

Probably. reddit has tons of content from back when humans were the dominant posters there and that comes up in search results. I can see a future where text searches will turn up reddit posts much like image searches flood you with pinterest shit.
techno-archeology is a thing I guess

thats not what pov means, upload a selfie as punishment
POV = point of view. The intern's point of view. They're looking at the selfies submitted by gooners. The picture is a gooner. Idk what you're talking about.

How do you think this will go down? Parents calling the ISP with "please unblock porn sites for me"? I see various things why this won't work. From ISPs not wanting to increase the number of service calls over Apple's Private WiFi MAC addresses to these kind of customers not even knowing how their devices appear on the router. Nah, completely unfeasible.
Yeah. I like the idea of separare WiFi. INE forma adults and another for kids

They'll criminalize personal VPN users for non-work purposes, next.
Work VPN doesn't look any different to any other VPN to the people tapping the lines.

I agree, and whilst I don't personally bother with vpns myself because I prefer other solutions, it's one of the things that helps prevent insane UK politicians' bad hottakes on tech becoming law
Edit: an apostrophe

That brings up an interesting thought. What if people uploaded AI generated selfies?

Finally it seems the end of Reddit is near.

Reddit stopped being any good when that guy doing a batman/joker role reversal writing prompt stopped posting

Do we have your permission to have a wank, Government Daddy?

Those that have entered into the shadow contract. A shadow contract is one of few mechanisms to enter large-scale consensus (it isn't THAT large when compared to a solar or galactic scale, but large enough for planetary control, and with some clever management, can scale larger).
Consensus requires untrusted sovereigns agreeing to collective action. It is a very difficult mechanism to operate. One way is by having a crime so heinous, the mass population block would eviscerate you if it came to light.
Pedophilia is king among these shadow cornerstones. It illustrates a total lack of empathy, no protective nature towards the innocent, no concern for the perceptions of society, high intellect / manipulation abilities, and a willingness to do anything. You can say it is the "panther" among the shadows.
So most leadership is among that tribe, which is why they are the way they are. It is only logical.
There are other tribes as well. Use your imagination and the answers will follow.
Funny thing, Reddit did that "circle" event many years ago. How big did anyone's circle get? That is an example of what I am explaining. It is nearly game theoretically impossible to have large scale consensus without some mechanism to make sure people are on the same page.

You don't know that, I've seen shadow contracts that apply to intergalactic scales. I would wager they can be used for interdimensional organisations

I'll just use a VPN to hide my VPN use and then they'll never know.

We thought the same thing about Netflix with the sharing password bans. Yet they retained more profit than ever the next year.
Who's to say if this is what will make Reddit end, or did they actually just got more successful after the end of 3rd party apps compared to the declaration of so many users back then?
Digital personal verification is just going to become a fact of life in the future for everyone born after about 2012. They will use online ID cards, biometrics, location metadata that is constantly uploaded by our devices, maybe even implanted RFID encrypted chips for account verification. Passwords are becoming outdated and outmoded for security as we speak here. 2FA is the minimum security for online today but that may soon become outmoded as well.

Once businesses fully implement zero-trust, VPNs are redundant.

Good luck, I'm behind 7 proxies.

Sounds like a loophole to me!
