KOSA and other Bad Internet Bills (US-specific for now)
In late 2025, Congress is once again considering KOSA along with a package of other #BadInternetBills internet bills. EFF, Fight for the Future, ACLU, Woodhull Foundation, and dozens of other groups continue been sounding the alarm, and grassroots activisms have joined in to make it it clear that these bills are terrible ideas. Alas, Congress is now considering packaging them together—possibly into must-pass legislation. We're organizing to keep them from sneaking these bad internet bills through.
This community is for news stories, opinion pieces, and action links about these bad internet bills. Please help get the word out!

So how I see this will be implemented in the UK is that your work vpn endpoints will need to be registered with ofcom.
The big providers like proton or Nord will have to declare their endpoints if they want to remain compliant.
All the smaller providers will just skirt detection for quite some time, eventually they will crackdown on them, if Sky can manage a slow but steady block so can Ofcom. No they will never get anybody but that was never ever the intent, just to get most.
The main aim will be to use using an unauthorised VPN as a means to further smear people and confiscate their equipment, you have to have reasonable grounds in the UK.
Its never been about criminals or pedos, most already use other means to secure themselves.
