Some of the nordics have actual strong privacy laws, last I checked, so there’s no reason to have to play censorship regimes against each other like that.

You’ve got it backwards. China’s increasingly tight social controls, and increasingly antagonistic stance with the US, just means that they’re the least likely country to report you to US companies and state governments. I have no plans to ever go to China or Hong Kong.

I have no plans to ever go to China or Hong Kong.
As long as that’s true, of you and of any of your acquaintances, and your friendly local Chinese citizen group (¹) working for China doesn’t take an interest in you, that’s fine.

I think VPN to Belize or Cuba will become a new standard…

I don’t think a Cuban VPN exists. If it does, it’s definitely government-run. They don’t let the internet in and instead have their own intranet.

Story time: something like 30 years ago, someone sent me an email asking a technical question about a thing I posted online. We exchanged a couple educated emails, and they thanked me for the explanation. Then it hit me: …who TF has email on Cuba …whom was I talking to?
Nowadays they have Internet access for tourists, but 30 years ago… yeah, that.
