I just hope they won't move toward the "oh, you use encryption? Let's see how it protects you from solitary in jail" step too fast.
And no, I'm not sarcastic, I'm worried.

Whatever the meme is I can't see it because lemmings.world blocks access to the UK now π€£
I used a VPN yesterday to see how it looks in the UK. Seems a lot of porn sites don't give a shit about UK and don't require any verification. So once again, the law abiding sites are punished while kids are pushed towards the lawless ones. As predicted.
are you telling me the thing that's meant to harvest personal data isn't useful as a child protective tool?
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.
80% sure that's a racoon, not a cat
You are incorrect. That is a tortoise shell cat.
negative. it's a meat popsicle.
Aren't we all?

Thin chips = french fries
Thick chips = chips
What Americans call chips = crisps
Sadly, we do call skinny chips "french fries" over here.
Also, the fry in your gif isn't french π
Everybody should download Tor Snowflake so we can help people circumvent TOR censorship.
There is also VPN, but I hear they are trying to outlaw that in the UK too.
They have ruled out banning vpns for now but that's not to say that they won't just U-turn or that whoever gets in next won't ban them.
The UK's Trump whose party is currently the most popular in the UK and may win the next election (I hate this) has pledged to repeal this law but he's well known for making promises he has no intention of keeping and this law is very convenient as a means of censorship.
As good at keeping his promise as Trump is! Which, of course, is why eggs are cheap, there are no more wars, and we have the full Epstine files. /S
Yea I know. if they ban VPN's and block access to the TOR download website I've got TOR saved on USB's and I'll send a copy to anyone who wants it lmao
Tor is loud and every ISP sees encrypted traffic that screams "I dunno, but it's tor traffic."
It's no free pass when the government is pressuring ISPs to tattle on encrypted traffic.
Be careful y'all. Don't be calm, but be Fing careful, too.
I can't remember the term/name anymore, but wasn't there a way to mask TOR traffic as standard HTTPS?
OBFS4 bridges.
Also the slower snowflake protocol that masks traffic as a video call protocol

make sure to get some bridge adresses too! without bridges, ur ISP can still see that ur using Tor
Done! π
Is there a guide or reputable YouTube video that provides instructions/links?
I did it by just clicking the three horizontal lines at the top right corner > settings > search "bridges" > request bridges
My bad, I wasnβt specific. I looking for something comprehensive for non-techies with a desire to be safe on the Webster.
this is a good guide on how to use the browser safely:
Thank you
Its possible to still use one with obfuscation, Don't get caught!

> posts meme about what it means to be using TOR as a Brit rn.
> On an instance that needs TOR or a VPN to access from the UK
Ha! I see what you did there.
But tor is slow af isn't it?
Yeah using tor broswer is generally slow - adjust expectation and see it as a necessary tradeoff for some privacy and it is fine.
Further than that, browsing the 'dark web' has mainly been a boring/frustrating experience, but going forward, between tech oligarch-surveillance-capitalists co-option of the web on one side, and increasingly authoritarian Western governments on the other, the dark web might be the only place to get an online experience something like I was told the internet was going to be a few decades ago.
Is aroubd 10-20 mbps now
its been quite fast for a while now. i often get around 3-4 MB/s (24-32Mbps) downloading files.
I2p
Or using a vpn your friend jn the empire paid for so ice wouldn't murder her for looking at porn that's too gay.
Is it possible to choose an exit node? Because if the exit node's in UK, it presumably doesn't help with the geoblocking aspect.
It could be possible if they decide to implement that, since the TOR browser tells you the circuit (The path your connection takes) it could theoretically just request a new circuit until it gets an exit node that matches your preference. At least with the most basic implementation that's what could be done, not very optimized though.
yes! theres a "new identity" button that effectively does this

It bothers me that the sunglasses are in front of the diagonal. That diagonal is also the wrong way.
