Very easy to write "except businesses" in legislation
Them I am a business. Sorry pal.
If businesses are people then people are businesses.
Time to spin up a small business I guess
In American anyone can run a business as a sole proprietor.
So that would essentially invalidate the law.
They would probably code the language to ban people selling access to a vpn, but not stop you from running your own.
Commercial VPNs are businesses too :)
When do governments do anything clever when writing legislation or laws or whatever?
I know dude, literally everyone ignores this. Its like an ostrich putting it's head in the sand.
