Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

It's completely legal for me to watch 70s pornography while drinking hard liquor and painting pentagrams on my walls and sacrificing small animals to Baal.
I'm not going to videotape it and show my grandmother.
Nothing to do with illegal, you want your privacy kept intact and your data to be your own. Data can be used in millions of ways to manipulate you, cheat you out of your hard earned cash and affect you psychologically. Don't forget, many VPN's are owned by the same companies that own the review sites and are about as trustworthy as an Israeli ceasefire.

Ahh... Orthodox Muslim countries exist
Ahh... Regular Muslim countries exist.
Ahh... What is your definition of small?
Hyperbolic for the average person.
You use VPN because you don't want your ISP selling data about you to a data broker, and you don't want your government to get that data for free.
Data about you, even if not about illegal activities, can be used to manipulate you.
