It’s been announced that Xitter will start flagging up anyone who uses a VPN to access it! 🤬

Who cares?!?

Anyone with any sense uses a VPN so, frankly, if you aren't flagged as using a VPN (which I'm skeptical they can do anyhow), you're only outing yourself a naive...

Isn't this part of the flagging people who claim to be in location /country pushing a local agenda who are actually somewhere else ?
