Very easy to write "except businesses" in legislation
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.
If businesses are people then people are businesses.
Time to spin up a small business I guess
Them I am a business. Sorry pal.
I know dude, literally everyone ignores this. Its like an ostrich putting it's head in the sand.
When do governments do anything clever when writing legislation or laws or whatever?
Commercial VPNs are businesses too :)
