No they won’t be.
Firstly it is technically impossible. Even China cannot do it.
Secondly, businesses need them for WFH.
Thirdly, the government is not implementing a block themselves. They are trying to pass on the unreasonable onus onto website owners.

Streaming companies routinely block VPNs, as does Reddit. There are security companies which aggregate and maintain lists of VPN IPs, which they sell to such companies. It is possible that use of such services could be made a baseline of “reasonable measures”.

It is a game of cat and mouse which China has not solved.

If the website owners do it, then ???
I already know a heap of VPN servers I can’t access youtube or reddit from.

I bet you most of them won’t
IP addresses change. Your VPN server will change them (if it is any good).

Nephew, I really hope all your accounts aren’t banned by social media

Technically impossible? Not at all. VPN companies have exit nodes with IP addresses. Those IP addresses are regularly banned by services like Netflix already.
