Coordinated action cuts off access to VPN service used by ransomware groups

Pay Attention, anons!

Although this is from Europe, it will happen here on a much larger scale (if it isn't already).

VPN providers will be forced to keep logs and share your info, (for National Security purposes, of course) and this WILL be used to target "criminals" (read anons & patriots), using new laws to cover what they're probably already doing illegally.

Sure, they will track & prosecute actual criminals just to prove the importance & necessity of depriving you of your privacy under the guise of protecting us from the evil ransomware attacks - most of which they are likely behind! (You see how fast they "recovered" the money form the targeted pipeline company, an in-house screw up perhaps. Funny how that story has been memory holed)

Follows the same pattern as all of the FFs used to increase police powers (eg. 9-11 / Patriot Act, Capitol Riot / targeting mom & pop patriots, and on and on and on)

If you're using VPNs/proxies/TOR to engage in CP, financial crimes, drug running, etc., fuck you, you deserve what you get.

But we all see the writing on the wall & any new laws/regs WILL be used against the American people to silence the truth.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
