The Danish government is using the upcoming Christmas break to slip through a public consultation for a draft law that would make it an OFFENCE to use a #VPN to access content that would otherwise not be available in Denmark, or to circumvent the blocking of "illegal" websites. https://hoeringsportalen.dk/Hearing/Details/70858

This is done under the guise of ensuring a technologically neutral implementation of Directive 98/84 on pay-TV decoders (hint: the IP address is NOT a conditional access device).

@je5perl sigh.. I wonder how they intend to enforce that. Whole point of using for example a VPN is that it won't really be possible to trace what a specific user accessed.

@jacobbaungard @je5perl Oh no, this is really shit. If passed, it would allow the Danish government to argue that deep packet inspection #DPI for the discovery and blocking of #VPN traffic is needed, and then you have a Danish #GreatFirewall.

Curious to hear what Danish businesses would say to that?

@ilumium @jacobbaungard @je5perl Wonderful, the danish government wants to be just as authoritarian as China. Those mofo's need to go.
