The answer to how do we keep kids safe online isn't destroy everyone's privacy. It's not force people to hand over their IDs to access legal content. And it's certainly not ban access to the tools that protect journalists, activists, and abuse survivors. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/11/lawmakers-want-ban-vpns-and-they-have-no-idea-what-theyre-doing
@eff I despise the notion of banning vpns or requiring ids to use them.
But where in the bill does it mention that they will ban vpns? The text of the bill adds a clause to exempt cloud service providers, internet providers and search engines. I thought vpns would fall under cloud service providers?
@elgregor @eff Are Vpns providers not a form of cloud service provider? Both of them would incidentally providing the now illegal content of porn to users. The law has an exception for them.
