Don't sell yourself short, you're doing fine. It looks pretty good and generally organized. You just need some more storage (drawers, shelves or a wardrobe).

I was curious about the app you mentioned and understanding how they solved the privacy & anonymity requirements.

This is the only similar app I could find but it's not exactly as you mentioned. Can it be this one?

If not I would be glad if you can share any reference to the one you mentioned. That would be really helpful.

Exactly. The entertainment value of it is very similar to the early MTV. When you find the right creators for you it's very rewarding.

And on top of that for me YouTube's music recommendations are always spot on. Sometimes it insists that I check a music video on the landing page. Every time showing me the same thing. And most of the times it turns out to be a very good discovery. So it's a very good medium to discover new music. Funny enough, YouTube Music's recommendations are always sub-par.

Yes, my point is that banning protocols will kill all the commercial VPN offerings. Restricting a big size of the population. Obscure protocols like X-Ray can work but not everyone can set it up.

And I think you can also raise some suspicion if you use too much bandwidth on that connection. GBs of data consumption from MyTotallyLegitWebsite.me can raise eyebrows. And that would be the only thing needed for a court notice or a visit by the police, depending upon the country. And in anti-democratic countries you're guilty until proven innocent anyway.

True. But every nation has its downfall. It's only a matter of time.

With deep packet inspection they can detect a VPN protocol connection attempt and drop it. There are already countries utilizing this method.

No, it won't stop the genocide. Most likely nothing will. But all of these will be evidence in the future to label these countries as supporters of genocide. A stain that will never wash off.

But with decision making that can affect peoples' lives and livelihoods, we need to be damn sure the computer is going to make the right decision every time or not trust it to have full controls at all.

Yes, dystopia already arrived and we will all going to suffer. Here are just a few simple examples of blind trust of algorithms which ruined people's lives. And day by day more are coming.
