Typical religion, just making up stupid shit to enforce their control over people.

Didn't their prime minister recently use a VPN to congratulate Trump on X, which is blocked from access by the same govt?

I'm not sure. Are you asking to get an answer?

No, I wanted to bring out the irony. Maybe an '‽' would have been better than the '?' I put at the end of my comment.

Religious nuts

This is a government entity thats trying to crackdown against opposition. Nothing to do with religion.

It’s “the advisory board of religious affairs.” You think that group of people can’t be religious nuts?

Also, it’s 100% about religion because their entire excuse is that it runs contrary to religious law. I mean, to your credit, you’re kinda right because this does have nothing to truly do with religion and is about control. But they’re using religion to do it.

“Using a VPN goes against our religious beliefs?” Come the fuck on.

Read the article. The title is click bait. They never claimed using a vpn is against their religion.
