You're just lucky YOU aren't affected yet. Try telling that norwegian poker player who is unable to wire legal poker earnings from a tournament abroad to his bank home. Or to any of the people who made money on crypto who they want to use as security for an appartment loan. Or to someone trying to wire gains from legal online casinos abroad. Or to someone trying to access a web site that the norwegian authorities do not like who are DNS blocked (yes, easy to circumvent for tech people). Goverment and politicians abusing authority and limiting individual freedom is already here and growing. When it starts affecting "most people" it is usually a lot harder to reverse. The norwegian goverment already passed a law that allow mass electronic surveilance. And they want to limit the public's access to goverment records. It's a very slippery slope, left side "social democrazy" (spelled "beuracratic dictatorship") like most of EU. People need to open their eyes and fight goverment overreach now.

My 2c on your scenarios.

>Try telling that norwegian poker player who is unable to wire legal poker earnings from a tournament abroad to his bank home.

Probably blocked due to terror laws. If you can't Western Union money, there is a REALLY good reason.

Wait until you hear about how we are a cashless society and our bank app for money transfer. That you need mobile ID and bank account to use :) Max tracking. But its very handy.

>Or to any of the people who made money on crypto who they want to use as security for an appartment loan.

Good, I hate crypto shit and I want it to go away. It is all a scam. Get a real job and invest in a real bank. Crypto is all tax fraud scam shit.

>Or to someone trying to wire gains from legal online casinos abroad.

Good, I hate gambling and online casinos. If you have to gamble, do it in my country so the taxes benefit.

>Or to someone trying to access a web site that the norwegian authorities do not like who are DNS blocked (yes, easy to circumvent for tech people).

Yes THIS I agree with. I think ISP DNS blocks piratebay etc here now. Or some ISPs do. It's shit, but I already use a 3rd party DNS provider on my PC and phones.

Your point btw? I am running the Snowflake when my browser is open.

I love how your arguments against anything you dislike but should be legal because of personal freedom (gambling, crypto) is simply a teenager ranting.

> If you can't Western Union money, there is a REALLY good reason.

That isn't remotely true. Why on Earth would you ever give Western Union this kind of authority, lol.

They've proven they can't be trusted many times over, most notably when they participated in the blockade of donations to Wikileaks.

It's viscerally disgusting to me that just a few years after that, someone would put them on a pedestal as some kind of moral arbiter. What the fuck.

> Good, I hate crypto shit and I want it to go away. It is all a scam.

Yawn. What a tired and ignorant sentiment. The fact is, people saying things like this are making exactly the same destructive mistake as people saying 'all politicans are bad' - you're throwing out a very important baby with the bathwater.

Fortunately, digital money doesn't give a flying fuck about your opinion.

> Get a real job and invest in a real bank. Crypto is all tax fraud scam shit.

Ugh. See above.

> Good, I hate gambling and online casinos. If you have to gamble, do it in my country so the taxes benefit.

You lack the minimum required table stakes of tax knowledge to be saying things like this.

My point was regarding the "no censorship in Scandinavia" comment that I replied to. The rest of your arguments are just ramblings about you not caring about individual freedom. You even justify their actions using your own made up arguments (which I'm not even bother going to sensibly refute). It is your exact attitude that gets us into trouble with power greedy politicians. You're an easy mark.

Under some new "hate speech" law in Norway, a prominent lesbian feminist called Christina Ellingsen is facing potential prison time for writing on Twitter that men can not be lesbians.

I find it astounding that her saying "You are a man. You cannot be a mother." is considered a hate crime, when it is the literal truth.

Male delusions being held in higher regard than female truth just shows how deeply misogyny is embedded in society.

You are willfully misrepresenting the situation. The issue isn't that she wrote "men cannot be mothers", it's that she is telling a trans woman "you are a man". If people were running around and telling feminine-looking men "you are a woman" it would be the same situation and handled the same.

> it's that she is telling a trans woman "you are a man"

Which he is. So-called "trans women" are not women, they are men pretending to be women. And women shouldn't be punished for pointing out this fact. No-one should.
