VPN hosting country, these are drones. Drones, meet the VPN host country...

Or heck, just strong-arm them into adopting think-of-the-children laws one way or another.

Here in the USA, we don't block internet sites. We have no "great firewall" here. (We do have to worry about our IP addresses being associated with torrenting copyrighted content and getting sued however.)

So if you're in the UK and you want to use a VPN to access adult content (but you don't want to distribute copyrighted movies and music), the USA is an excellent VPN host country to use.

If the UK uses drones on the USA, the results will not be pretty for the UK. The UK will be squashed like the little bug that it is to us.

And given our near-religious devotion to freedom of speech, we're not going to be "strong-armed" into adopting such blocking either.

So, drones meet China?

How many would you send?

The Great Firewall blocks porn so China probably isn't the country parent would use.
