As long as they pretend to make good laws...

 ...we'll pretend to follow them

 

Chris Snowdons latest bit just got me thinking. It's all about the creeping criminalisation of society, and begins with the new 'Online Safety' censorship laws, then moves on to other aspects of the nanny state

 

And he couldn't be more correct. I've had a VPN installed on my PC and laptop for quite some time, but never used it. I remember going through this phase of thinking I should do something about Government intrusion and matbe protect myself from them online, but it never amounted to anything more than installing the software

 

This weekend, I hit a snag while searching the web, realised this stupid law had now come into force, and finally decided to set up and configure this VPN. And it worked perfectly

 

The VPN is now my online safety bill that protects me from the Government 

 

(Oohh, what were you searching for, I hear you ask. Well I'm not telling, so ner)

 

Using a VPN is not yet illegal, but I'm sure it soon will be. And I'll probably still use it

 

In fact... No I won't go into the list of laws I routinely break, or simply ignore. That could get me in trouble. Have a think about it though. How many laws are you breaking as you go through life minding your own business, doing your own thing and causing harm to nobody whatsoever?

 

It isn't none
