Well, time to protest, and if need be, use the constitution how it was intended.

Or … time to set my VPN to Canada.

I think the intent of the law is that it wouldn’t mater. If the VPN blocks the site, you can’t get to the site.

Why would a Canadian VPN server obey US block lists?
Replying to @OwOarchist@pawb.social
A Canadian based VPN provider wouldn’t have to but a US based VPN provider with a Canadian node likely would. And the law (or subsequent revisions) would likely make it illegal for a provider, regardless of where it is based, to offer service if they aren’t complaint with US laws.
