It's unfortunately no longer enough to force websites to check your government-issued ID before you can access certain content, because politicians have now discovered that people are using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to protect their privacy and bypass these invasive laws. Their solution? Entirely ban the use of VPNs.
Heavily depends on what “outlawed” means.
I am certainly capable of implementing low cost workarounds to purely technical anti-VPN-measures, but certainly would not risk going to jail just for trying it.
Essentially boils down to the old saying:
“If privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy.”
Fair point. Though using a PC you rent someplace foreign can’t be outlawed. Not even in the US. I’d argue the ban would be the usual kind that just has a list of banned IPs which are “shared devices”. Everything else would be death for all companies and whatnot. For me a reason to emigrate.
