  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.

  Thirdly, the government is not implementing a block themselves. They are trying to pass on the unreasonable onus onto website owners.

  If the website owners do it, then ???

  I already know a heap of VPN servers I can’t access youtube or reddit from.

    IP addresses change. Your VPN server will change them (if it is any good).

        They are not banning the Fediverse because there is no central body to fine.

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