I’ll second this and say it’s not just bravery, it’s money. Suing the federal government in Supreme Court is mindblowingly expensive, and the government has near limitless resources to fight back.

The mandates are impossible to make work ... but that's the point.
The VPN ban is enforced by civil and AG lawsuits. Compliance is impossible, meaning they can sue any site with "material harmful to minors" that accidentally accepts VPN traffic.
It's about creating liability.

It turns out people like actual people. Which we could have told Hollywood, if they'd actually asked.
