Time for a reality check. Legislators and regulators are now blindly heading towards a “disaster” of their own making. This needs to stop before it’s too late. Unsurprisingly, it turns out that banning or restricting online porn and then banning or restricting any technologies that enable adults to continue to watch online porn is a “terrible idea.”

EFF says VPN bans that have been mooted in parts of the U.S. and Europe are now “actually happening” and will be “a disaster for everyone.” This backwards privacy move has always been and should always remain inconceivable. But it’s suddenly very real. “Lawmakers want to ban VPNs,” EFF warns. “They have no idea what they’re doing.”
