    Exmuslim here, it’s forbidden in Islam to spy on people ( invade their privacy ), but there is another rule ( which is not actually written, at least not in the main scriptures ), that basically flips everything around, lying, stealing, killing, invading someone else privacy… etc everything becomes allowed, because it’s a necessity… now you might be asking, how and when you know it’s a necessity to do something that’s officially forbidden by Allah ( in this case invading others privacy ) ?

    the answer is… it’s subjective, you just make up your own mind, and justify it with : it’s a necessity, may Allah forgive me 🥺👉👈

    Of course, I’m being too optimistic, religion is there so people don’t use their brains, in reality people ask imams ( our version of priests ) who have authority because “they know” these stuff, it’s just makes life easier

    push users to register VPNs with the state’s media regulator, ostensibly to enhance cybersecurity and fight terrorism.

    Ahh, the terrorism excuse, ok… define terrorism ?!

    again, their own sharia laws are against them…lol…, Invading people’s privacy is prohibited in Islam, so They’re going out of their way, and against the word of their holy Prophet

    “Using VPNs to access blocked or illegal content is against Islamic and social norms, therefore, their use is not acceptable under Islamic law. It falls under ‘abetting in sin,’ ” said the statement, quoting the council’s chairman, Raghib Naeemi.

    man, don’t you just love it when religious people try to save you from eternal hell?

    The title is (kind of) clickbait. It’s actually just been ruled that using a VPN to access blocked content is against Sharia law. But fuck if that headline isn’t funny

    I love when a God type peeks in from heaven, from time to time, performs a technology review with his main human peeps, and together they conclude a VPN is probably bad for the community / personal development / a deeper connection with said God etc.

    So cool. Praise be heavenly technical reviews.

      Pedophilia is pretty common in organized religion, so probably not much. It’s in both the Quran and Bible. Idk about the Hindu faith, but Gandhi used to sleep nude with young girls, including family members, to test whether they got him hard or not, and he’s still adored by millions.

          Of course. Otherwise you’re racist, islamophobic, transphobic (you know, because of the trans-fat, i guess), republican, democrat, fascist, communist, ignorant, insensitive, probably a nazzi, certainly satanic, a lawyer, a doctor and a politician. Add to the list a conspiracy theorist and a nerd. But if you tolerate it, well, you’re tolerant, a great human being and an all-together great human being.

          Fuck me, I need the to get the fuck off of this piece of shit planet.

          Oh, well if you don’t, people say you’re a bad person. Despite religion being the driving force behind most of the evil that’s plagued the human race, we give it a free pass because most people are too scared to live life without the promise of something coming after.
