  "textContent": "It is correct to a certain degree. Every country is adaptable if you’re not doing a sentence there (however as they say, people also live in prison). Other than that, everything else is a matter of perspective, understanding and the will to work it out. Make no mistake, there are no safe havens/countries for the rest of us, common folk. On one hand vpn bans, chat control, age verification, cryptocurrency control, cash flow limitations in favor of local digital currency, military draft policy changes etc., these are measures of preparation for a big conflict that is coming. On the other hand it is a way for a ruling class of any country to secure its position of power, so no “democratic” procedures would stand in its way. Have that in mind and plan your life and actions accordingly. Maybe search for some Russian, Chinese, British and now Turkish public (or not so public) groups that are looking into adapting to their privacy situation. Maybe learn a thing or two from them. Maybe learn something from good people here. Take your time, be spongy about useful information, think it through and then go for it. It’s your choice to make, no one here will make it for you. You got this, friend.",
