    Laws differ from country or provence. And if you want an answer you’d have to go diging in documents or make phone calls. Might even be best to pay a relavent lawyer a consulting fee and get a real answer.

    From what I can say, the eu may only allow you to own armor from complient sources. Anything else becomes more complicated.

    Hope for the generation, that’s tough. I think they’ll get through it,though I don’t have a real clue how. I think things are going to get worse before they get better, but it’ll be an “out of the darkness and into the light” kind of thing.

    And on a more personal note, I think my daughter will cope well with the world. She reads the most in her grade, last I heard. Her exposure to the algorithms is minimal and we are teaching her to be warry of ai. Sure she gets metered screen time, and regularly exspesses joy, creatively, and imagination.

    She gives me hope, that there are other children like her.

    I’m always using a proton vpn. As well as a hardened librewolf and default ironfox. I definitly get more captchas and there are some sites that don’t load up, but I have yet found a site that blocks me that I’d turn the vpn off for.

    Somethings to note though:

    I have been suspended from esty after buying stuff, likely from the vpn. I appealed but nothing has really happened.

    Youtube can be a pain, I no longer use google accounts and I don’t bother using their captchs. I just shuffle around on my vpn until I’m no longer a bot.

    Streaming; netflix is fine, though I stick to my home country normally.

    I tried a couple of other with limited success, nowadays I only use netflix on my compy with a vanilla firefox

    I think I tried Paramount and it wasn’t working out. But it may have been because of it not available in my contry or something.

    Disney was givin me a lot of trouble, but I think I did get it to work on my phone with the vpn once. (Had to restart the phone with Disney+ disabled first, the it worked.)

    Honesty it’s not that bad.
    Also as I was writing this I was going list out my privacy set up, but I realized I think I’ve become meme.
