Brazil to Ban X from the Country

Our lovely minister is seriously banning X from the country, and imposing a fine of ~8.5K USD / day for any person that access X through a VPN.

Apparently they're also removing the most popular VPN apps from the AppStore.

This is insane. What a freaking shot at democracy

    Look on the bright side, at least nothing of actual value was lost.

    Democracy is dying anyway. It's not sustainable anymore. Enjoy the ride and wait and see if there's any opportunity for you.
