Not 100 percent sure but I imagine that they could still operate but just with more liability on the user.
For example: I always use a VPN. It’s legal where I’m from and my ISP doesn’t give a shit that I use it. Therefore if I did anything illegal with it, it’s not really on me directly as they would have to find out who I was through the VPN provider first.
In other scenarios where VPNs don’t comply, I imagine then your ISP/Visited Sites could see that you’re using a VPN from a provider that didn’t comply and is therefore “illegal”. Now regardless of what you’re doing, you’re still using an illegal VPN and they could try to come after you regardless.
This is an extreme scenario and I don’t mean to fear mongre as I don’t understand the entire situation of the proposed law in France.
But there are “stealth” protocols with some VPNs that allow the user to look like a real user as opposed to a popular/known VPN server. Not sure how applicable this is to that but just a thought.
In short, there’s always a way… It just may take a few extra steps.
