I wish everyone being against VPN a very pleasant fuck you and get a life and or a rope. VPN is essential for cyber security and banning it would literally fuck up most IT work in the world. Fucking greedy assholes. Now im pirating something just to spite them. Time to fill the library again!
The phrasing of the law would most likely allow use of VPN for commercial use but ban for private use, so it's unlikely to have a major impact on coorporate IT work in general.
The article also mentions this VPN ban in a context of VPN services being marketed specifically for piracy use as the scope rather than "legitimate" VPN services in general.
But yeah, these people can get bent...
They're asking for TV manufacturers to block a VPN app in the TV. Not to block VPN in general.
