The European Commission is weighing EU-wide blocking orders that could pull VPN providers into copyright enforcement

Several countries are already ahead of Brussels. In 2025, a Paris court ordered five major VPNs to block more than 200 illegal sports streaming sites, while Italy moved to extend its Piracy Shield system to VPN and DNS providers.

In Spain, a Córdoba court ordered NordVPN and Proton VPN to block IP addresses tied to illegal LaLiga streams in February.

The same court later refused to fine NordVPN for not complying. LaLiga has since asked the Commission to add NordVPN, Proton VPN, ExpressVPN, and Surfshark to its piracy watch list.

    Why must the fascists ruin everything… It doesnt look like vpns are a viable tool for circumvention anymore, but what are the alternatives?

    The perfect thing would be content centric internet, but that is not going mainstream until the fascists are overpowered.
