    I don’t get the hate. I enjoy shitting on reddit as much as the next guy, but defending their user’s right to remain anonymous in court has been one thing they’ve got a pretty solid record on.

        all facebook owned services forbid you from being anonymous on their platforms.

        Twitter still allows anonymous users and satire accounts…but paying for a checkmark reveals who and where you really are.

    I’ve never torrented anything, not even once. I always pay for things legitimately…no matter how hard it is to keep track of everything you’re paying for or how expensive it gets to pay the same movies again and again when the billion dollar corporations randomly decide I don’t own something I paid for all of a sudden. I never pirate anything.

    You should only use good VPNs that are lying about their no-logs policies like Nord, Express, Private internet access and surfshark. Never TorGuard or Mullvad. TorGuard and Mullvad actually had to prove in court that they don’t record their users. So they’re bad and immoral for not being cucks for the establishment.

    Definitely don’t get torguard’s proxy service to go with torguard. And definitely don’t use torguard’s proxy service inside of your torrenting client.

    Like I said I’ve never pirated anything in my entire life and I never will.
