Yeah, and torrenting is an activist solution.

That’s not the intended use, and you know it.

From the first sentence:

Riseup offers Personal VPN service for censorship circumvention, location anonymization and traffic encryption.

Emphasis mine. Notice how there’s an “and” in there, not an “or.”

You can redefine piracy to mean “activism” all you want, but abusing philanthropy with the explicit intent to prevent censorship is anti-activism.

It can be, but there are so much more important forms of activism that I’m pretty sure the people behind RiseUp most likely don’t want their bandwidth taken up by torrents.
