Denmark proposes legislation restricting VPN use for accessing geo-blocked content and illegal streaming services, though officials deny plans for a total ban. The amendments target copyright violations and illegal IPTV services with intentionally broad, tech-neutral wording to cover future bypass technologies. Privacy advocates criticize the approach as limiting freedoms due to government failure to address piracy at its source, drawing parallels to controversial EU Chat Control proposals. The culture minister insists the bill simply criminalizes illegal streaming, not VPN technology itself, but public reception remains negative amid broader European debates over privacy-preserving technologies.
