I wish geeks realize that VPN is not the solution for stupid/doubtful laws. They should not exist in first place.



Its not the solution, its the defence. I'd love to have the laws not inacted in the first place, but thats unrealistic IMO.

If the majority has become tyrannical in their thinking toward the minority when it comes to human rights, then get the hell out of the country or jurisdiction in question if you can. Especially if it has moved beyond the initial typically mostly benign stages.

Authoritarianism and aggressive statism broadly, generally prompt opportunistic brain drain for exactly that reason.

The US poached enormous amounts of talent from backwards, regressive European nations for more than a century previously.


Problem is, eventually you run out of places to run away to.
