      Twin Tails - In "The Selfish Gene", Richard Dawkins coined the term "meme" to mean a cultural replication as part of evolution apart from the biological gene.
      Dawkins' book preceded the internet by a decade. The internet crowd has redefined his term. I put the term in quotes as it was bandied about in the media and in this video but was not originally intended as a joke.

    With that said, it's more of a life lesson rather than this particular VPN situation. So I would apply it to everything. Other than that, great vid. You had a good message tied to good intentions so kudos my friend.

    It was obviously satire which is a protected form of speech/expression, as in New Times, Inc. v. Farley and satiric fair use as in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. An the Supreme Court in an unanimous decision in Hustler Magazine v. Falwell ruled in Flynt's favor. Since this satire was political in nature the courts have a rich history of upholding and protecting political satire. If CNN had gone through with their threats, "HanA**holeSolo" could have sued for damages and would have likely won, also any agreement made under threat or duress is null and void.

  • @KowCokPow
    @KowCokPow 7 років тому +10

    In my opinion even a vpn is useless. The thing is, big companies like cnn might have some friends over at any vpn service, or just write a polite letter asking about the persons ip, since they should be able to find the persons ip by knowing what time he sent the information through the vpn server. Someone could literally write a letter, say that person has done something wrong or serious and they need the ip, and i think chances are they would just give that to them. I think the best way to avoid this is to not do anything wrong. Makes sense, dont do anything wrong, you dont get into trouble, if you do, even if you got a vpn backing you up, i would say people would still know your ip. Am i wrong here, what do you guys think?

    You are so right! We are living in a kind of Virtual Prison and it is better to be safe than sorry. It is also good to see young persons like ThioJoe following in the footsteps of the older generation of the Internet pioneers. The Internet is stuffed compared to the time when we older people have started it. It happened exactly what Bill Gates once predicted in an article of 1991.

    Betternet and VPN360 are my favorites. They’re free and they don’t keep logs via the contract you agree to upon use. If they do, they have no evidence because if so - that Company just breached their contract which makes them liable.
    Betternet is perfect but has ADs on Android. VPN360 has no ADs that bother you and they have a faster upload and download speeds.
    I’ve been using them for years now, I’m using one right now. Just be careful for IP leakages cause - everything on the Internet always has some issues every now and then. Use a service to analyze your IP Addresses and make sure they changed and aren’t leaking.
    Also, let me riddle you this - when you register an account and login like said in the video. Aren’t you basically just creating an account to maintain your log data? Yessss. Haha.
    It’s easy.
    You’re welcome.

  • @glenneades3613
    @glenneades3613 7 років тому

    I've tried 3 VPN's and my download speeds dropped to ridiculously slow speeds with each of them, even though they claim they have high speed servers and the proxies would be transparent. I'm getting around 200+Mbps (sometims as high as 240 Mbps when a speed test is run), yet with a VPN my speeds dropped down to like 12 Mbps. Each VPN claimed it was due to a rapid surge in growth that happened right after the incident you were talking about, but they had promised prior to my signing up that I wouldn't notice any degradation at all.
    Apparently, the majority of their customers don't run a speed test to see how much performance they lose going through a VPN.
    So, while I agree with you that we've gotten to a point where a VPN is becoming a necessity here in the US, just as it has been for years in highly censored countries like Pakistan, N. Korea, and China, it's pretty hard to accept the performance degradation one is supposed to accept in order to protect their privacy, not to mention these VPN companies don't seem to have any problem saying anything to make a sale and get that monthly recurring income coming in.
    So, tell me of a VPN that will still allow me to benefit from somewhere in the area of the 200+ Mbps speeds that I pay for each month, and I'll be more than happy to check them out. But hell, between the router, encryption, private VPN on specific applications, and so on, I'm not totally wide open, though I'd feel safer if I were using a VPN, without a doubt.

    I took your advice and signed up for NordVPN. I found it to be extremely frustrating and canceled my subscription
    On a positive note, they readily refunded my subscription.
    I am somewhat PC literate. I have built seven PC's. Prior to wireless routers, I had a Cat 5 network in my house running six PC's, with a hard-wired firewall
    I found my PC actually performed slower in many instances. The biggest frustration as sites were classifying me as a robot and I had to go thru the "I am not a robot" routine far too often. My autofill did not work often. Today, I attempted to login to "Whitepages Premium" and I had to submit an online application for review to allow me into my paid account.
