This is just so stupid region locking and IP bans have had work arounds for decades even on the ISP side, it's so easy to get around, boomers won't be told though.
Unfortunately they now know this, hence the attempts to effectively ban VPN usage in the UK to circumvent age verification and other aspects of the Online Safety Bill. Eventually countries will have two tier networks - Predominately Intranet for us with the Internet being tightly regulated and restricted to access by Government and corporations either for themselves or on behalf of the public to retrieve data from outside a jurisdiction.
While yes they are desperate to implement this legally, they're waging war against internet autists which is not a smart move and the only people they have on side are SJWs who barely know how to use a phone and boomers who only understand old tech at best.
This is going to be pretty lulzy to witness. My reckoning is their 'ban' will most likely involve ISP bans on various VPNs they happen to know about but everyone will probably have work arounds within 5 seconds or less if they haven't already thought about it. Boomers simply do not know anything about the internet.

That's how it is in the Cyberpunk universe. There's the sanitized corporate public internet patrolled by netcops, and then unrestricted cyberspace where dangerous AIs roam freely waiting to fry the brains of overly adventurous netrunners. That's also the only place you can find real information.
