I highly doubt the users could get away with such an excuse but I’m not a lawyer. And the complaint comes from the football ligue rights holders, there is not ethics to be found here.

selling piracy services

That’s exactly the subject here.

France copyright law does not allow full length reproduction, whatever the intent. It does not apply here and it’s not why they are going after the customers here.

Telegram never was the private alternative to anything, unless you took their advertisement at face value. It was always known to not use e2ee by default.

Signal is not a problem, the US gov things were very dumb users issues. It was not caused by Signal itself.

So the goalpost has not moved in years, Signal was and is still good, Telegram is only fine if you do not care about privacy.

That’s not my claim.

Lol, “do your own research”.

This is not about me but about the advice you give to people. If you give advices you need to back them up, you can’t just answer “I disagree” to contradiction.

I’m not saying you said it was precise. I’m just saying that not every layer is important, or even good.

What if there are less people using that VPN IP than using that ISP IP, now your are giving more information with a VPN than without. How do you verify the claim that a VPN does not log? Spoiler, you can’t verify, it’s just trust. You have to chose who you trust enough to give them access to the website you visit.

You’re dodging the issue. Why would an IP that’s shared and does not give precise location be as important as precise GPS location?

No, those are not “layer of abstraction” and they do not have equal importances, claiming otherwise is counter-productive. Each data does not reveal the same quantity of information and their hierarchy depends on your threat model.

I don’t think that’s true for mobile IPs since they are shared.

Wine does not “isolate”.

That’s actually vx-underground source for this post: https://xcancel.com/vxunderground/status/2032562782248349793#m

They would need to do DPI and drop the packet using its SNI. Websites, especially pirates ones, really need to implement ECH, this would prevent this.

If you are willing to tell the country I would be curious.

Yes, but I’ve stopped most of it since then. Had some great times, a few not so great, but in the end those were mostly good experiences.

Also alcohol is a drug, and one of the worst one.

Wouldn’t this be solved by using a DNS server your country as no control over?

But anyway PirateBay is not recommended anymore.

And it’s very handy for this, I have the same config for all my devices (desktop, laptop and server). Enabling and disabling different modules depending on the host it’s deployed to.

That’s why they are asking for a self-hosted solution, not a Google one.

As for your bottom line remember the contributors are working on it for free, they are not selling anything. So they are not running after more users. It’s good as it is, non technical people can use flatpack or AppImage and technical people can add a repo without issues.

And someday someone could add it to the official repo, it could be you.
