Remote government employees and contractors are required to use a vpn to connect to their work network. Any tech savvy business is using vpns to secure their remote employees work.

I don't know what greedy idiot came up with this bill or is lobbying for it but the only ones with vested interest in violating your privacy like this is maybe big tech and isps.
