Denmark’s VPN Crackdown: A Comedy of Errors or Censorship in Disguise?
The Danish government is mulling laws that could restrict VPN use, sparking fears of censorship over safety. While not an outright ban, privacy activists argue the move targets legitimate tools under the guise of copyright enforcement. Meanwhile, officials insist it’s merely a modest proposal to combat illegal streaming.
Hot Take:
Oh Denmark, you cheeky rascal! Trying to restrict VPNs? That’s like trying to catch a slippery eel with your bare hands. Good luck with that! Perhaps this is just a ploy to make sure everyone watches Danish TV shows? Either way, we’ll be watching (with our VPNs on, naturally) to see how this saga unfolds.
Key Points:
- Denmark proposes restricting VPNs to combat illegal streaming.
- The draft law is tech-neutral to accommodate future developments.
- VPN restrictions would cover media unavailable in Denmark and blocked sites.
- Denmark’s culture minister denies plans for an outright VPN ban.
- Public opposition arises amidst broader EU tech regulation debates.
