Republican bill would order ISPs, DNS providers, and VPNs to block piracy sites

Couldn’t you use a VPN to VPN to another country that doesn’t block piracy sites, then use a VPN to pirate?
Replying to @lol_idk@piefed.social
Yes, and you should probably be doing that now anyway.
Any recommendations on what country to VPN through?
Replying to @dkppunk@piefed.social
Not specifically no. Either you’ll want a country with good privacy laws that will make it bureaucratically challenging to get your VPN provider’s logs (the provider should be in such a country as well) or a country that isn’t in great terms with this one.
But the location of the operator in important too. If you’re using a VPN server in Somaliland (I don’t even know if such a thing exists), but the operator is in Pittsburgh - you’re not doing yourself any favors.
