How do you "ban VPNs"? That's not how software works, and VPNs are... you know, a key part of a bunch of online infrastructure. I get that they mean "ban them to bypass restrictions", but the entire point of a VPN is you can't tell from the outside what it's being used for. You may as well ban thinking about butterflies. You can write it down, but you can't enforce it.

They’ll do what Russia does with their online services. Have a registration scheme with noncompliant VPNs being outright banned. Simple when you know which dictator to copy.
