      it's nobody's business if you are or not using a VPN. if a VPN is technically illegal where you are using, the authorities can use it as evidence. The type of places restricting use of VPN are exactly the type of places willing to use that evidence to come get you

    I mean, it's obviously ineffective for the stated goal of proving authenticity to other users, so using a VPN must really be quite effective at tainting Twitter's data collection to let them go to such lows. And it's not just Twitter... VPNs seemingly really piss off a lot of data businesses. Quite the advertisement. And ironically going "bareback" now feels way more compromising than ever before.
