Chinese Cybersecurity Regulator demands answers from Nvidia regarding remote shutdown, tracking capability in hardware

UK Users Need to Post Selfie or Photo ID to View Reddit’s r/IsraelCrimes, r/UkraineWarFootage | 404media
Reddit told me in an email that it restricts certain mature content in the UK, and that it defines “mature content” for these purposes per the UK’s Online Safety Act, which includes violent ,graphic content, and porn.

I asked ChatGPT about the availability of VPN software in every instance of Linux, and about how the State might try to prevent its use, plus how much it costs to “roll your own” VPN
Discussion attached below; I agree with its conclusions 100% Hat-tip to Alan Cox for reminding me that every version of the Linux kernel has had VPN capability baked into it for nearly 30 years.
