This is the kind of talk that will drive more and more people to use VPN’s.

Anybody not already using a non-tracking VPN is asking for harassment.

nordvpn.com

Cheap. Easy to use.

FB and Tw have been working this problem for several years. IMF should have an easy go of it.

Lev Ratnovski. That name sounds pretty ethnic to me. He supports putting us in concentration camps apparently.

So there is this new thing happening at my grocery store where they ask for your ID when buying a Visa gift card. They say it is for your protection in case the card is stolen and also they need to make sure the person buying it is over 18, which I clearly am.

I refused to give my ID. I said I was going right home to use up all the money on the card on online purchases, so no danger anyone steals it.

The kid said it was store policy. I said get your manager over here. The kid pushed the sale through.

That card has better work. It’s going toward my quarterly dues here.

Why limit it to ‘dissidents’ and website visits?

I should think that would be obvious. He is not referring to the American "cold war" use of the word, where "dissident" was close to synonymous with "political prisoner", but the actual definition of the word.

dis·si·dent

/ˈdisədənt/

noun

a person who opposes official policy, especially that of an authoritarian state.

Pretty much every person who posts on FR, and any other activist, journalist clergy, or regular joe who opposes Democrats, Socialists, Critical Race Theory, abortion, infinite genders, etc. In other words, YOU and I. Why websites? It's an easy place to track, and just the start.

Sadly you were right, again. Trump needs to talk about this NOW.

I think anyone connected to the paper should have there credit rating lowered or be prohibited from financing.

Sounds like Chinese control tactics are attractive to some more than others.

Invisible from private entities probably. But you probably won’t be able to hide yourself from government entities. The general rule these days is that you can’t hide, but maybe, just maybe you may be able to keep a few things separated from being identified with yourself.

Isn’t this a US led and funded group? And I suspect they want to use Google-developed software?

Maybe not now, but maybe soon, Americans in the 21st Century will find out the meaning of tyranny as those people in the mid to late 1700’s lived under.

And we will find out if America survives.

“IMF Proposes Punishing Dissidents by Lowering Their Credit Score if They Go to Bad Websites”

Patriots propose punishing Nazi bureaucrats by cutting off their food, water and energy.

And, of course, this assumes that the VPN supplier is not working for a government, either knowingly or unwittingly.

I’m surprised “Employment” is not on that chart. That is the obvious way to really squeeze somebody.

Of course, “government jobs” in China could be referring to every single job in the country.
