(I hope this version doesn't become a policy proposal as a "compromise"... it wouldn't even technically be a bad compromise, it would just actually imo be too easy to enforce, and shift the overton window massively)

this idea was brought to me by https://blog.giovanh.com/blog/2025/10/14/a-hack-is-not-enough/, and subsequently thinking about how one would implement the "internet access bans" currently considered in EU policy such that it would also avoid basically all the privacy critique and such against it, while still not tackling the issue of "large online platforms should be properly regulated".

actually, if the weird bans itself can't be prevented, this approach would be imo one of the best possible implementations. Maybe I'm a bit biased. Germans love their overlay networks. Just look at Gematik, DN42, etc. (this is perhaps the most hilarious list I've ever made)
