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, but would leave VPN services untouched. Observers are debating the scope of the measure, noting that users could simply route around blocks via VPNs, while critics see the targeting of DNS infrastructure as a worrying precedent for internet regulation.

Why now: The bill's carve-out for VPNs and its impact on core internet infrastructure are drawing fresh debate online.
