What a terrible terrible idea
I mean, logically, it would make sense to push VPNs into illegality or create a lot of gray area there if you're also planning to introduce the Aussie social media ban. Logically. I personally think both are no good.
I've read some headlines about illegal streaming being targeted and shut down in Europe. If there was lobby money invested, I suspect it is the likes of sports rights holders who would like you to pay them extortionate amounts of money and not sail the high seas for the price of a VPN.
Modstå, kære dansker.
If omnipotent deity of your choice forbid this ever lands at the ECJ I'm not sure they will side with the privacy/freedom of speech side of the argument.
They want to unlock the illegal streams? All hail the Danish pirate kings.

FINALLY! What took them so long!? I mean it's a totalitarian grab, but seriously, if I was behind this. I would have immediately made VPN's illegal. Then tracking what my citizens do online, would have been made much easier!
What is going on with this vpn banning bullshit. This would render so many banking apps completely useless.
