    They can’t recommend using a VPN, but they can say “some users are illegally subverting the ban using a VPN. For more information on this subject see: [link to VPN guide].”

      I read from another comment somewhere that the law or whatever said that they should not promote a VPN, not that they could not promote a VPN. Those are two totally different words.

      However, your way is probably safer and not reliant on language.

        They can outside of the UK, but for stuff accessible in the UK, they can’t. To be specific, I think it’s that they can’t recommend one to get around this law. They can in general, but not to avoid the law.
