    Probably because you don’t want your IP address to be associated with some of stuff on there.

      Why? You aren’t committing a crime

      Maybe you shouldn’t vote since they have cameras at the booth

            That would be illegal in Australia and I have to imagine most functional democracies since it has the potential to link voters to votes and undermine the electoral process.

              Welcome to mass surveillance. It is not illegal if it is in the name of crime stopping. Whats worse is that Australia has laws that require companies to back door everything.

                Worth clarifying that it requires individuals to insert backdoors if told to, it’s not a blanket backdoor and frankly I’d be shocked if it held up in the high court.

                Nothing ever makes it there though, and it’s full of baked in secrecy. I don’t use local or US services for anything where privacy is important for that reason.

                Good thing Australia doesn’t have electronic voting, hey?
