    I’m not saying it could never happen, but literally all this is a handful of MPs and lords making noise about shit they don’t understand.

    There’s no plan for this. I don’t think we need to be quite so alarmist in a thread with literally zero sources posted anywhere.

      The shitshow we are seeing currently started as a handful of MPs, lords and interest groups lobbying them to ban privacy.

        I agree with you there mate. It’s worth keeping an eye on, but there’s not much to see just yet that warrants some of the reactions in here! HNY bud.

      They’re was talk of age verification for buying a VPN, but not of an outright ban.

      Not great, but not the end of the world either since credit cards are only available to over 18s anyway. If your VPN accepts anonymous payments then whatever.
