Could age restrictions come to VPNs next?

    One has to wonder to what lengths the free-speech-hating UK government will resort after they have outlawed VPN’s and realized they can’t shut down all VPN’s without shutting down the Internet entirely.

      I suspect they’ll invent VPN licenses and sell them to corporations but not private individuals. And they’ll pressure home ISPs to block suspected VPN traffic.

        @floofloof @moretruth I think how they approach this will depend on how the US responds to OFCOM’s attempts to fine US companies like 4chan.
        If OFCOM is successful then it will probably force VPN Providers to implement Strong Age Verification and then fine those who don’t do this and who don’t inplement KYC.
