Comment on ProtonVPN: Site Blocking Is an Attack on Users' Online Freedom.

  There is no jurisdiction. I’m speaking exclusively about France…

  If France convinces themselves that they have the right to limit access to websites via VPN and other likewise software, it’s only a matter of time before they convince themselves that they have the right to limit access at the ISP level.

  Then once precedence is set, other European countries will follow Frances’ example.

  The Internet was designed to withstand nuclear weapons. It’s not going down without a fight.

  If you believe this statement to be accurate at all you’re not paying attention…

    And unless they want to send their troops into another country to tell that ISP what sites to block they can’t block them.

    I helped Syrian and Egyptian dissidents to circumvent internet blockages during the Arab Spring. I have absolutely been paying attention.

        Right, but if I’m in France and get my friend in Kazakhstan to plug in a Pi to create a VPN - which is pretty trivial provided you have a Kazakh friend - how will the French stop the Kazakh ISP from letting a computer in Kazakhstan access a website that is legal in Kazakhstan?
