Somewhat of a dumb take. There's nothing free on the internet. So you either pay for it directly or by giving away your data or participating in some form of scheme.
I suspect so as well. But also, a clearly thinking person would pick up on the additional implication.
Hell is not real and no innocent goes there. I guess if we knew for sure that it existed, and didn't trust the administrators of hell to follow proper protocols, it would be similar? Like, you could say "don't wish people hell, my aunt was innocently sent there and boiled for eternity!". Though I'm willing to concede that hell, being an abstract concept beyond the arbitration of human morality, is a neat way to be malicious about bad people.
Don't get me wrong, I think he should go straight to hell with his buddy Putin. I just think that wishing somebody PTSD is structurally similar to wishing somebody to experience sexual violence in prison, i.e. a vindictiveness that somehow belittles the struggles of PTSD.
Well, you can have PTSD and be a dick, both are possible.
I tried this, and it gave a decent response in my case.

Hmm, the demo is very rough around the edges. But it's a foundation I suppose.
Don't get me wrong, I think those restrictions are horrible and Putin is a tyrant, but it's irresponsible to say that VPNs are illegal. They are not. People should use them to access alternative media like Meduza instead of accepting that there's only state media. VPNs are still incredibly useful and we shouldn't play into the scare tactics of the Russian government by insinuating that you can end up in jail by using VPNs. I think that's coming, too, but these tools are still available to get around lots of the censorship. As you yourself noted, most of the VPN providers aren't actually complying with the law, so you can access way more material, without current legal repercussions to the individual, at least based on the sources you provided.
I see! So, to quote the sources you provided:
"Despite widespread speculation, the law does not directly ban the operation of VPNs and anonymisers. However, it does restrict access to banned websites with the help of these tools."
I.e. the VPN providers themselves are not illegal, though the VPN providers technically have to not allow users to access content listed by rospotrebnadzor. That's responsibility on the side of the providers, not a ban on use. Practically speaking it still is attempting to censor content, but neither of the three sources claim that VPN use is illegal in Russia.
I'd appreciate a source for that statement. :o
Why can't we both discuss issues surrounding ChatGPT whilst also discussing electoral propaganda? What's with this single issue, low attention span bullshit?
