Americans will find away around their idiotic regulations and Taxes. This is Wrong and
all that money is what they dream about spending, other peoples money. Greedy bastards.

Can’t have any free thinkers out there. Only fully vetted and indoctrinated site need apply. Users will have to have a government license to connect. Oh, and let’s not forget the new taxes.

It’s costing me $52 a month. I’m bracing myself for when I cancel it. That day is coming.
