VPN companies
Yep, I've been using VPNs for years and the amount of friends who've asked me for recommendations prior to this theocratic legislative fuckery was zero... It's been amusing to see the sudden interest in cybersecurity and digital privacy among my friends and colleagues. Don't get me wrong though, I'm glad they're finally taking an interest in their digital privacy, even if the catalyst is simply wanting porn access.
Porn drives all sorts of technological adoption, so it makes sense if you think about it. If your product enables people to see some titties easier, it's gonna be a success.
VPNs are starting to be required for browsing the internet. The internet is getting ruined.
In tomorrow's world it will be firing up your VPN, your ad-blockers, your anti-viruses, your anti-AI filter, your own AI that you have installed to fight hostile AI's, all to just use the app version of your favorite social media site. Which will be entirely nazis screaming hateful shit.
