    It basically already is because you know most people are just going to lookup a free VPN who has every motive to obtain as much information as possible about the user and sell it.

    I saw something like this happen (major social media gor blocked). Can confirm that those sketchy free VPNs are now on seemingly every phone and it is worrying as hell :/ At least some people use charity censorship evasion projects instead.

    Yeah, all the people will flock to free VPNs. They’ll google “how to get around blocked porn” and the free VPNs will be at the top of the list. And the issue with free VPNs is that if you’re not the customer, you’re the product being sold.

    Though it would be a great way to catch a bunch of conservative politicians cranking it to gay porn. Because if they’re using those free VPNs, (because they’re all +70 years old and have no idea how to actually stay safe online,) then their data can be bought.
