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!

Bad article, made even worse by being written as if the author understands a thing about VPNs.
Maybe, if you're writing about such stuff, you're first supposed to research that "the technology just doesn't work this way" and websites don't see VPN connections. They terminate on the VPN server and the websites have no reliable way to know whether a packet used to travel through a VPN or multiple before.
Since the latter is plain impossible, there is no choice.
Boo-o.
