   @waldschnecke @evacide this. The unintended consequence of the ban will be worse than the thing they tried to ban.

   Though there is a bright side: it might popularise VPN use to the point that tech companies finally start understanding that an IP address does not indicate a physical location, a culture, a language, or anything else about the person using it.

     @evacide I personally couldn’t care less about the platform, but if interpret this correctly it’s different from just changing your DNS to get around the ban. So kids are going to swarm and download scammy free VPN solutions. And we all know what those are… the result could be much worse than before.
