let's say that VPNs are compromised and "they" know that you're downloading "illegally"
in order to prosecute, "they" have to prove you're a pirate and show how they know
would they compromise their backDoor to go after a tiny pirate?
This is why I compose all my messages on an air gapped computer and send them out from my compound with couriers.
I personally just use a VPN that connects to NSA servers so they think it's themselves doing the torrenting.
Unless you PGP-encrypt everything by hand you've just lost the fight
Who controls the couriers though
And that's why the only thing I use my VPN for is piracy. Don't really have a good reason to push anything else through it.
this information isn't likely to be public after the fact.
nothing because it's fucking hormones. It's not meth.
Estrogen, yes. Trans guys are fucked if we've got to order testosterone off the internet.
yeah, and? What are they going to do? Send the DEA after you for growing GMO titties? Gonna hit you with the ATF because you grew hormonally altered facial hair?
They've got shit like fentanyl to be worrying about. I think this is probably the least of concerns, especially considering this is less "drug addiction" and more "illegal prescription drugs" instead. Besides, they don't get drug money from trans people.
It's certainly a potential risk for procurement of the drug legally. But that's already a problem.
