    I am actually not completely averse to that.

    German content laws are very strict, just downloading pirated content can result in large fines (4-digit €-values).

    So forcing people to use VPNs will actively increase downloaders’ safety in the long run.

    Just read the linked article to the end.
    The actual worrying part is imo not the blocking in itself, but the lack of transparency.
    Opens the door to misuse that might infringe freedom of expression.
