$9,000 per day fine for using VPN to access X. No, not in Russia or China, as some might expect. This happened in "free" country.

All that is getting more and more ridiculous lately. Once i shared a link to the early XIX century Russian writer's museum and found out it was blocked in France, then lately I shared the link to the history of pneumatic post in a Russian library - and it was blocked as well in France.
