That is what their mod was accused of having done, albeit on reddit. If Kev believes those allegations to be unfounded, he's done a poor job of expressing that.

Alas, not everyone on the fediverse is so friendly and welcoming towards people who "express certain political views" by using a position of power to suppress those they disagree with.
Long may I continue to be proven wrong.
Turns out it's nowhere near as complicated as everyone said it would be to change the constitution. All you've got to do is buy yourself a Supreme Court.
It might. If some day they don't control the browser, whoever does control it might be hesitant to build in features that are only there to spy on users for Google. Cookies do at least have some other uses.
Oh shit, Jerry legit blocked it: https://fedia.io/m/fedia/t/1468012/Fedia-reporting-issues-with-specific-servers-e-g-lemmy-ml-lemmy-one-startrek-website/comment/8379246#entry-comment-8379246
It's unfortunate IMO. I thought it was just some kind of weird mbin problems causing lemmy.ml not to federate, then I mostly forgot about it. Although that server is not without problems I'm sure, it's a huge piece of the lemmy world to be missing and it's a pretty small world to begin with.
Why did it get defederated?
ACE sure did go downhill since they released Ace Stream.
That's technically within your legal rights I guess, just like (depending what the fine print says) it's within their rights to throttle all your traffic one way or another to a low speed including the stuff you actually need to go faster. The places that always have low speeds for everyone are like that because they're designed to cater to people who don't give a shit about what their fair share might be and just want to max out their connection. Those services are fine for torrenting, useless for everything else. Windscribe isn't one of those but it could become one if enough of its users think like you and insist on it.
Hopefully they'll set a soft 2TB limit or something before they do that, though.
Them calling it "unlimited" when there's a limit is wrong, but so is using all of the available upload bandwidth 100% of the time on a cheap home VPN service when you consider the current market prices for data transfer. Mine's limited to 2Mbps. Seems fair for $7/month or whatever it is.
Edit: Oh right it was 2Mbps. I spent 20 minutes surveying datacentre prices around the world to come up with that number, but bandwidth prices vary widely and might've changed by now.
It's not as if I did an exhaustive search to sift through all the evidence, but what I found was this: https://lemm.ee/post/60365167
