  I am really curious how long it will take them to ban VPNs.

    It’s impossible to ban all VPNs. And even if they somehow do it, you can get a VPS(virtual private server) from one of the cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure etc.) and host your own vpn service (OpenVPN, Algo, Vultr). You don’t need to know a lot about it, there are step-by-step guides for it.

      Just block every AS that belongs to a hoster.

      Yup, I have my own VPS hosted in Oregon, so if worst comes to worst, I can route my traffic through there.

      Companies have been compiling lists of which IP blocks are consumer Internet and which are cloud services. That’s why some VPNs are now selling home internet IP VPNs.

    They’ll ultimately just have to cut off the US Internet from the rest of the world, right? As long as we can access other countries with more freedom, we can enjoy that level of freedom on the Internet. Or am I not understanding how the Internet works (entirely possible)?

      If it makes you feel any better, you can rest assured that Capitol Hill doesn’t know how the Internet works either.

        " And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It’s not a big truck. It’s a series of tubes. And if you don’t understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it’s going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material." - Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens

      They’ll most likely try to pull off a setup similar to China.

      What you’re not understanding is that Florida is just a single state out of 50

        The people pushing these laws are hoping it will have the “California Effect.”

        Like when California says “Cars need to meet X emissions standards” so far makers just make cars everywhere meet those standards.

        They are hoping that by making age verification a thing in a few states, it will become a thing everywhere.

        This fails to realize that one, it’s easy to geofence a state online (VPNs being anwork around). And Two, companies generally comply with California laws because, on the whole, California passes mostly positive limitations. It only makes the cars and world better if they all meet the better emissions standards. Blocking porn like this, is a net negative.

        Also, on the subject of kids accessing porn. They are going to do it anyway, anyone thinking otherwise is oblivious to the world, and two, it’s not up to the state to nanny this shit, it’s up to the parents.

    Some US states already have more restrictive abortion laws than Saudi Arabia, so why not Internet laws too.
