On March 31st new rules take effect in China banning VPNs and cross-border leased lines. Bloomberg writes:
Censors have already eliminated hundreds of VPNs, which route user requests for sites through virtual networks located on the providers' servers, disguising their users' true locations or destinations. A few operators have been jailed, and over the summer Apple Inc. began removing VPN software from the Chinese version of its App Store. VyprVPN, ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and a shrinking number of others are still working to outpace the government, renting extra cloud servers from Amazon Web Services Inc. and the like to buoy their networks. They're also working on software that can make user activity look like permitted internet traffic, sometimes by renting internet protocol addresses that have also been used by government-approved services.

hey this ia a great idea
instead of gun control, we can do this, and upon validation of the success*, people can get their guns because they fulfilled the safety mandate. no training needed aftewards either because lobotomies mean no more stupid crap like that!!
*can you add this to be part of required proof of insurance so people can file their taxes and stuff? its totally not a tax but it can be like a cost savings if they spend their own money (after taxes) on this preventative maintenance that then can give them what we can call a 'speed pass' to gun ownership! some sort of ID can be used with embedded or just like cloud based proof of lobotomies and the privileges it provides (like american express) so that it also can be used to get past security lines and stuff at airports and white house tours and also act as ID for concealed carry!
wont work well for concealed carry ar-15s, but there was that kid that made one out of legos who ruined his life by posting the picture. stupid kid needed to own a real gun because otherwise it shows he's a terrorist capable of making IUDs while praising john lenin or whoever that countercultural guy was over that big lake east of us.
