🇫🇷 France goes for VPNs
Companies like Canal+ and LFP (Ligue de Football Professionnel) claim that VPN providers are contributing to illegal broadcasts of sports broadcasts. (Yes, they want to go after that again, just like in Spain.)
This is why, according to a journalist from "LÃnforme", Canal+ and LFP have different VPNs in mind.
Faced with this situation, VPN companies are considering leaving France, arguing that such measures are a threat.
Even ProtonVPN is willing to take the case to the EU Court of Justice . https://torrentfreak.com/protonvpn-site-blocking-is-an-attack-on-users-online-freedom-250214/?preview=true
There is no obligation to block VPNs for now, but we will be watching to see if such a measure is finally implemented.
