On the one hand, I know it's bullshit and they would just break the tools that a.) everyone uses, including themselves, and b.) it just brings even more chaos and will not solve the problems that they think. On the other hand, I feel they just don't give a shit and want to go through because they know that enough people will probably just give up and accept it, which will lead lawmakers to continue with these surveillance tatics because they'll believe people are ok with it. I don't think it's going to work, but I feel we are at a point where they just don't care and will push on through with some way to damage VPNs. I apologize if I'm coming off pessismistic, but's hard to try to be positive when it's not one country, but many countries that want to restict or ban VPNs and this just part of the plan to dismantle privacy. We'll see what happens in the coming months.
