US Site Blocking Bill Targets ISPs but Spares VPNs

Original: Unified U.S. Site Blocking Bill Targets ISPs and DNS Resolvers but Spares VPNs

A proposed unified US site-blocking bill would require internet service providers and DNS resolvers to block access to infringing websites, while leaving VPN services untouched. Critics note this could push users toward VPNs to bypass blocks, raising questions about the bill's effectiveness. The legislation echoes earlier copyright enforcement efforts and is drawing debate over censorship and technical feasibility.

Why now: The bill's scope covering ISPs and DNS resolvers but excluding VPNs is a notable and controversial detail in ongoing copyright enforcement debates.
