    I was on a VPN well before Texas pulled this shit, simply because I don’t care to have the ISP that I’m already paying double-dip by selling my history to data brokers. Honestly, I think a VPN is necessary for basic online hygiene at this point.

      For the VPN to work there has to be a place without censorship laws. The problem is that there is more more of places with censorship laws and age verification. There is one website in particular that made it mandatory for everyone regardless of where you live to provide age verification - the website did walk it back but still.
