  It’s a UK law, you either comply or get banned. Obviously everybody now has a VPN subscription.

    Italy made VPNs practically illegal. The UK might soon follow. And surfing the web with a VPN is a painful torrent of capchas.

      I think it’s better to reject these sites rather than work around it. Especially for major platforms. Make it hurt financially.

        Many have done that for decades, but the tend remains that the internet is getting less and less free.

      My VPN for about 7-8 years is run by Italian hacktivists (airvpn, it’s a nonprofit, they’re good people), I haven’t heard about this ban. Perhaps it only applies to Italian citizens using VPNs, not to Italians running VPNs. Wait, that doesn’t make sense… I’ll check out their newsfeed.

        Yeah, afaik airvpn basically can’t offer VPN to Italian citizens any more because they’d be forced to keep logs. But they can still get customers from outside Italy. And presumably Italians can still use VPN outside Italy. I think, let me know if I’m wrong.
