Danish government proposes to ban streaming over VPNs due to risk of circumvention of content controls

Presumably this will soon be in the House of Lords:

The Danish government has introduced a controversial bill that would make it illegal to use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to bypass geo-blocking on streaming services like Netflix. The proposal, which is currently under review during the holiday season, aims to criminalize VPN usage when accessing content that is not normally available in Denmark, such as American streaming services. Ordinary citizens found in violation of this law could face fines as a result.
