@SoylentGroyper Well in his case, the main issue lies in the fact that he actively advertises people to come on his site and post controversial things, many people have good reason to want some anonymity when doing so.

Gab is a badly built site in a number of ways, they've gotten hacked one time enough to where all their CC transactions, addresses etc were taken and leaked nn DDOs secreets for every journo to go have a field day with.

Second he openly brags about his willingness to share information with law enforcement which he certainly cant be trusted to be scrupulous about.

>you can't post from a VPN unless you pay for their gold account or what it's called

yeah that's just slimey. :torba1:

Of course you're right when you mention sites like Reddit et al for blocking VPN and Tor traffic, personally I refuse to visit any site that blocks tor, for a lot of reason but mainly I'm not doing the humiliation ritual of pointing out the fucking bycycles on a grid for the 1,903477902th time.

A VPN will only do so much, it won't do much to negate browser fingerprinting on it's own. At the end of the day it's just a tunnel really from on server to another. Great for pirating movies or watching tv in a another country. Regardless people should be able to do what they want.

He is using CloudFlare to block tor which given his predilection to sucking up to law enforcement is a bit....interesting.
