Unenforcible Law.

Gotta require ID verifications and ban all VPNs in order to actually be enforcible.

Banning the Three Letter Word is unenforceable too. If you ban Open*** and Wireguard - too bad, China has done that and people developed obfuscation methods. Even if you try to ban talking about them, they won't go extinct. If there's a supply, there's a demand.
