      If you read the bill, heavily sponsored by the MPA, part of it is about forcing ISPs (and presumably US based VPNs) to block the DNS/URLs of “foreign criminal” sites.

      It’s laying the groundwork for a Great American Firewall.

          Viva la Mullvad. I was sick of being bullied into buying more to get a deal. It may not be the cheapest, but I love that it’s the same price across the board.

          Plus, the only way you’re going to get anything cheaper is by locking into a 1-3 year plan when you may not even need it every month.

        So many long games are being played now, it’s like everything is laying groundwork for something else. Would be nice for laws to just do what they do.
