US Site Blocking Bill Targets ISPs but Spares VPNs

Original: Unified U.S. Site Blocking Bill Targets ISPs and DNS Resolvers but Spares VPNs

A proposed US bill would require internet providers and DNS resolvers to block access to designated piracy sites, but would not impose obligations on VPN services. Critics of site-blocking measures have long warned such mandates risk censorship and are easily circumvented, and the VPN carve-out highlights that weakness. The proposal is drawing attention from copyright holders, digital rights groups and internet infrastructure experts.

Why now: New legislation on site blocking raises concerns about censorship and its easily bypassed design.
