Same, tho i am not in Saudia. But yeah, i wouldnt have though they knew of lemmy let alone of specific websites or even care to block it. A heads up tho, i remember in a video on YT it said the USA ISP stores your IP Traffic for at least 10 years tho. Its possible it stored there for longer but i am not sure when and if they might act on . in your original post, some ppl said to use VPNs which can be a bad idea and land u in worst waters. I used to worry about this shit for almost 1 and half years(guess i still do)and my mental health went down the shitter for it.
yeah agreed I haven’t gotten a VPN yet but I plan to get one for travelling… but idk is there something I don’t know about vpns that could make them worse?
I only know of two: performance, and accounts being banned. Idk if there’s anymore.
Btw, whether or not you need a vpn probably depends where you’re travelling. If you’re going to travel to developing countries, then you’ll probably need one. otherwise you should be fine. (idk how censorship and safety are in the west, only know about them here)
