This article is from March of last year, and a quick google seems to show that’s when most outlets covered this story. Am I right in seeing that this is a year-old story? The article mentioning things that happened in 2021 as “last year” caught my attention

I don't mind too much, I didn't know TorGuard was blocking that traffic or logging American users but now I do. So I appreciate the article in that regard but the post should've been titled like "Reminder that TorGuard tracks American users" or something rather than being presented as new info imo.
Yeah that’s basically my view as well. I don’t take issue with posting “old news”, so long as it’s presented as such. This is good for people to know, especially TorGuard users who are unaware, but the lens people use to understand a story changes depending on whether they think it’s a new development or an old fact, so some distinction is good
They are not logging American users; they disabled Bittorrent traffic for any user connected to a US server.
Interesting, thanks for the additional info!
Just think of this as more of a YSK, instead of breaking news. 😉
Yes. This is true
Can you imagine if they worked this hard to stop corrupt corporations from ruining everything....
