Kids Online Safety Act gains enough supporters to pass the Senate
The bill would still need to make its way through the House.
The US’s latest attempt to chill speech online, KOSA-a bill to effectively force everyone to identify themselves to online platforms-is picking up steam and looking like it will pass the Senate.

I don't think a Cuban VPN exists. If it does, it's definitely government-run. They don't let the internet in (except on designated monitored computers priced so the local's can't access them much) and instead have their own intranet.
Story time: something like 30 years ago, someone sent me an email asking a technical question about a thing I posted online. We exchanged a couple educated emails, and they thanked me for the explanation. Then it hit me: ...who TF has email on Cuba ...whom was I talking to?
Nowadays they have Internet access for tourists, but 30 years ago... yeah, that.
Lol, so what sort of thing was Fidel tinkering with and asking for help with?
It was something technical, web hosting related I think. I'd have to dig up some old backups, if it's even still there... maybe someday. I remember thinking it must've been someone working for the government.
Some of the nordics have actual strong privacy laws, last I checked, so there's no reason to have to play censorship regimes against each other like that.
You may want to think twice about that:
You've got it backwards. China's increasingly tight social controls, and increasingly antagonistic stance with the US, just means that they're the least likely country to report you to US companies and state governments. I have no plans to ever go to China or Hong Kong.

As long as that's true, of you and of any of your acquaintances, and your friendly local Chinese citizen group (¹) working for China doesn't take an interest in you, that's fine.

PS: just saying, use Tor. If It's good enough for the CIA, it's good enough for everyone.
