  Okay, so VPN providers have to block access to sites.

  So now make them VPS resellers and you set up your own VPN. Do all VPS sellers need to do this? Will AWS, GCP, and Azure have to block pirate sites?

  Or what if I just ship a raspberry pi to a friend in some other country, will his ISP have to block access even if they’re outside their jurisdiction?

    If a Government is able to successfully assert that companies within their borders must block access to content they find abhorrent, it’s only a matter of time before they’re convinced they can do it to ISPs, too.

      But what about companies outside their borders?

    Come on, just because the CEO endorsed a Trump candidate using the company social media? Then backpedalled after the backlash? And then sent emails about how Proton is totally agnostic about politics and how the CEO is a Asian immigrant so surely they can’t support Trump?

  Maybe Proton should quit being buddy buddy with the US government and US big tech if they want us to take them seriously about this

  Watch out for Spain trying to block Cloudfare-hosted pirate sites with DNS. A judge the other day just said they can keep at it.
