    The UK government's plan to teach 10 million British children how to use VPNs may be one of the most ambitious IT education projects ever launched. Experts have praised the scheme, saying that a deft combination of incentives and peer education make it more likely to succeed than other, comparable initiatives.

    "With the rise of autocratic governments worldwide, VPN-literacy is more essential than ever.” said one expert, “This bold project definitely comes at the right time.”

    @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.

        Starmers next project, the great british Firewall, inspired by Putins actions, all oversea cables will be cut, starlink usage banned.

        What the twits are doing is to allow those who can afford starlink free internet access while restricting and dumbing down the rest of kids and youth.

            @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 it depends on why you are using a VPN. If all the traffic over the VPN is encrypted there is little need to trust the VPN. The crucial part for the youth is they won't appear to be in the UK.

            Now whether the youth can be bothered to set up fake accounts in some country with a less authoritarian government we will see, but the evidence from Australia suggests a significant number will.

              The use of alternative operating systems and social media platforms, without algorithms, will also be on the sylibus.

              Projects involving Linux, Graphine OS and Federated social networks are expected before the end of 2026 😉

                      So UK children will be taught how to circumvent age verification? That’s at least a good motivator.

                            @angusm Let the UK government teach them #meshtastic for middle school, then #Reticulum for upper school and they would have to build their own units. They might learn something along the journey.

                                @angusm If these sites restrict their age verification to a specific country, which is not what they want to do, then yes, VPN use will become the thing to do. Or use TOR.

                                Hopefully some countries will ban age verification. That will have interesting consequences.

                                    @angusm now we need to ban vpns because THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

                                    It's *definitely* not the responsibility of the *parents* to enforce safe internet use.

                                      The UK government's plan to teach 10 million British children how to use VPNs may be one of the most ambitious IT education projects ever launched. Experts have praised the scheme, saying that a deft combination of incentives and peer education make it more likely to succeed than other, comparable initiatives.

                                      "With the rise of autocratic governments worldwide, VPN-literacy is more essential than ever.” said one expert, “This bold project definitely comes at the right time.”

                                      @angusm And there is no way these children will use VPNs to get around the new social media ban.
