ISPs get legal notices from companies and are liable if it is found that their users are downloading illegal torrents and they don’t take action against those users.
How are VPNs any different? By using a VPN, aren’t you essentially transferring your accountability to the VPN provider? Wouldn’t courts find that since this or that VPN service’s exit server was used in ____ illegal online activity, they’re responsible and must cease operations?
How do VPNs operate? Are laws different for them? If yes, then how does that benefit the state? Wouldn’t the state benefit from treating VPNs the same as ISPs so they get more control?
“By using a VPN, aren’t you essentially transferring your accountability to the VPN provider?”. This is true if you aren’t paying for your VPN in an anonimous way, which is why 99% of the “VPN fOr PRiVacY” are scams.
