That's going to be a crazy policy to try and enforce. Reminds me of the US attempt to ban sports gambling online but only domestically. That just prompted people to make accounts overseas.

As usual, the governmental response is to increase the surveillance state and punish the end users, without addressing the incentive to create or distribute illicit content. They're just feeding a sprawling black market which... may be the intent. Black markets are notoriously unregulated and far easier to manipulate/gouge/swindle people over.
