VPN bans happening and spreading across countries

[urbanlegend]

Banning VPN is now on the table. Fucking law makers try to limit access to online sites any which way they can.

"A new set of laws in Australia requiring adult websites and app stores to age-restrict content for those under 18, and requiring AI companies to restrict chatbot offerings from displaying certain types of sensitive or adult content to minors, is apparently driving many to download Virtual Private Network apps there.

Major adult sites have closed their virtual doors to those who aren't age-confirmed in Australia, and these changes follow a nationwide ban on social media use by teenagers and young children that went into effect in December.

According to reports from Reuters, The Guardian and others, in response to the bans, downloads of VPN-related apps, which people can use to circumvent location-based restrictions, are sharply on the rise. According to Reuters, three of the 15 most downloaded free iPhone apps in the country were VPN-related as the new laws went into effect on Monday.

Lawmakers in some regions, including the US, are well aware that people use VPNs in this way. In states such as Michigan and Wisconsin, laws are being proposed to limit or outright ban VPN use. Wisconsin's proposed law would require adult sites to block VPN traffic, while Michigan's proposal would ban VPN use entirely in the state.

There is also a proposal in England under consideration to ban VPN use by minors. That proposal is currently under review."

If you are in say India and your VPN address is Australia if does affect it, some positive other not so positive. Especially for sites blocking or splitting traffic based on country/IP.

I guess the VPN option will be unavailable in regions where it is banned by law.
