So UK children will be taught how to circumvent age verification? That’s at least a good motivator.Indeed. Suggests the left-hand doesn't know what the right-hand is doing.

@angusm wouldn't this make VPN solutions the biggest juicy surveillance vector ever?

@greenpete @angusm true. For now...

ROFL I really must look into setting up a VPN for Chez Moose. Being a grumpy old git of a moose (old enough that even the supermarket ladies don't ask me for age verification when buying beer), all this nonsense is extremely irritating.

Trying to figure out how Keir Starmer's govt will reach 10 million children, to teach them the importance of using VPNs, when it also intends to ban their social media access -- the purpose for much of their use of the Internet -- until they're sixteen.

@angusm So uh, without a #VPN, your ISP can potentially view all your web traffic, right?
With a VPN, aren't we just substituting who can potentially view all your web traffic? Instead of the ISP, it's the people at the VPN that can view it?
The "just use a VPN because #privacy" crowd never seems to explain how one would choose a #trustworthy and #secure VPN.

@DanielMReck @angusm Use Tor browser then. It's going to be slow though

@MuhammadFreeSoftware @angusm Slow, yes, and I imagine a lot of the internet blocks Tor nodes just like it blocks VPN nodes, thanks to the unsavory types that likely flood those services alongside all of the legitimate/harmless users.

@angusm Just because our government is so questionable at the best of times...
this *is* satire, right?

@akromos @DanielMReck @angusm I used to daily drive Tor. Btw, the internet itself is kind of ARPAnet's successor, so clear web too "was a military project"

@huntingdon @angusm that *is* exactly how they will learn to use VPNs.

@angusm First, they ban children from social media, then they teach them workarounds?

@angusm I think they are doing to criminalize what should be a human right, access to the internet. By making it a crime, they can force kids to become criminals and lose some of their freedom and their rights. Get 'em while their young and they might never break free.
