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 proposed U.S. site blocking bill would require internet service providers and DNS resolvers to block access to infringing websites, while leaving VPN services exempt. The carve-out is drawing scrutiny, as it could let users bypass the blocks entirely, raising questions about how effective the legislation would be in practice and how broadly enforcement could reach.

Why now: The bill's scope and the VPN loophole are being debated amid ongoing concerns about internet regulation and piracy enforcement.
