Judging by the fact that most of congress doesn’t know how TikTok or WiFi work, I’m guessing it’s gonna be fine.
They may not know how it works, which is why it's fucking dangerous that they are getting "consulted" by the MPA.
Best case scenario: it's just a DNS level block.
Worst case scenario: it's a DNS level log capture so that the MPA can sue people who watch things on fmovies or similar sites, like the RIAA did in the 90s.
DNS over HTTPS and use a DNS located in another country - problem solved
In Europe, these blocks are typically just IP bans, so secure DNS no helpy. You need a VPN or other proxy.
You can even bypass these blocks with a CDN like Cloudflare. They let you host a proxy for a website for free. Check out this guide https://champagne.pages.dev/non-piracy-stuff/proxy-websites/
