    Any commercial entity will allow the state to spy users.

    Using somebody else’s vpn is only useful for getting geoblocked content. If you want actual protection from the government you need it running on your own hardware and configured with a dead man’s switch.

      Not true. I’ve been pirating for almost a decade from my VPN. One time it crashed and keep seeding, I got 108 notices from ISP.

      Fixed the issue by binding my nic to the app, never had issues again.

        I’m honestly shocked that you get the sort of individual here in Lemmy that doesn’t understand the difference between a commercial company; and DHS, DoJ, JTAC, DGSI, etc.

        Please read my comment again and tell me why you think torrenting might make you an enemy of the state. God damnit it’s hard keeping lemmings on topic.
