It’s not, it’s an add-on for shifting liability after the fact. Basically, if a site gets dinged as being part of showing some youth something truly evil, like confirming the existence of LGTBQI+ people on earth, then if the youth used a VPN, somehow the site is to blame. And likely fines come into play.
It’s like if a person that’s 19 buys alcohol with a fake ID in Utah - the liability is still on the place that unknowingly sold the liquor. It’s probably based on the same lack of logic.
This will be be one of those that they use to tag onto your allegedly illegal activities. Probably a larger penalty but a secondary infraction that can be painful. They just need reason.
I think you can equate it to if you were pulled over for speeding, and they noticed a busted taillight which makes the fine larger. They can’t pull you over for a busted taillight alone but they can add those fees on and wow do they add up.
How is this enforceable?
This is the goal.

I think this is one if those laws where they get to selectively choose who to prosecute.
…everyone is always a criminal so those in charge can do whateverthefuck they want with little regard for actual laws.
Seems like it’s the first step in transferring control of the internet to the government.
Step 1 to China/Russia/Iran level internet?
The government? Whoever is the highest bidder for all the data being gathered. Probably Palantir, as ever.
every website will start blocking VPN IPs, more so than what some already do, which is exactly what these cunts want
