    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.”

      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.

            @angusm Hot take: This British government plan to teach millions of schoolchildren to use a #VPN actually directs them all to use the free accounts at vpn[.]definitelynotmi5[.]uk because you can only trust your friendly local VPN vetted by The People Who Know.

                @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.

                          The uk is literally turning into an autocracy with weaponization of terrorist laws and having deal with evil comoanies like Palantir

                              @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"

                                    @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.

                                      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.”

                                        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.
