Federal bill would force ISPs and VPN providers to block foreign piracy sites
Original: Federal bill would force VPN providers, ISPs, and DNS services to block foreign piracy sites https:// thelemmy.club/post
A proposed federal bill would require VPN providers, internet service providers, and DNS services to block access to foreign piracy sites. The measure would shift enforcement responsibilities to the companies that keep people connected, rather than targeting the sites directly. If adopted, it could change how Americans access parts of the internet and raise fresh debate over censorship, due process, and the reach of anti-piracy enforcement.
Why now: The proposal would materially change how internet access providers operate and how users reach blocked sites, making it contentious.
