This is the must absurd take possible. Most business use VPNs for their day to day operations.

I think you need to read the second sentence.

His whole comment contains a view, that some people, including elected officials hold. I don't see an aspect, that actually hints, that he means that in a sarcastic way(, besides that he is on HN).

"I have actually heard otherwise intelligent people say things just like that" I think that is the indicator.

You guys really need to finish reading the comments before you reply...

I did, and I still don't necessarily understand his comment that way.

His second sentence is "There's no legitimate use for someone who isn't trying to break the law."

I'm not trying to break the law, I use it for my corporate usage, therefore it is legitimate use.

What are you trying to say?

Pretty sure they meant “second paragraph” instead of “second sentence”.

Yeah, basically. To me it sounded like he was doing a sarcastic quote, then shutting that opinion down.

Yeah, that comment is a textbook example of failure to communicate.

I think they're trying to say you need to read the whole comment before taking it apart.
