      Until they enforce government ID verification on every website & ban VPN’s. Mark my words, that’s what they’ll try to push under the guise of “save the children”

        The .torrent files would just be distributed over i2p or tor then. It’d be one add-on to the seedbox. Nothing would change for most people already familiar with docker etc.
