US Site Blocking Bill Targets ISPs and DNS Resolvers, Spares VPNs

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

A unified U.S. site blocking bill would require internet service providers and DNS resolvers to block access to infringing websites, while notably leaving virtual private networks untouched. Critics are highlighting the gap, pointing out that users could easily bypass the blocks via VPNs, raising questions about the legislation's effectiveness.

Why now: The bill's technical scope and its conspicuous VPN exemption are being debated among policy and tech communities.
