12 sats \ 5 replies \ @Skipper 5 Jan \ on: Pornhub ban now covers more than a third of US states news
I have a feeling most normies will simply go for the first VPN that comes up first on Google search, which is usually a shady VPN or a scam–and get rekt sooner or later.

My first three Google results for "VPN":
  1. Wikipedia
  2. Chrome Web Store
  3. Proton VPN
So you might be right that they go for the first search results :) Dunno if Proton would be considered shady though.

I've tested Google(.com), DuckDuckGo, and Bing, all first results were NordVPN ExpressVPN and some other random VPN that i've never heard of.
This test was done from a clean browser session. :)

Interesting. Wonder why I got Proton.
For the record, my browser session wasn't clean and I had clicked on the X post from Proton before doing the search
