This was entirely obvious from the very instant that "age verification" was mooted, and yet our policymakers pretended they couldn't hear the chorus of people who pointed it out to them. When cornered on the issue, they were affronted: "Can't you see that something must be done? How dare you attempt to stop me from doing something?"

Mozilla Warns UK Against Breaking VPNs
Mozilla warns the UK that cracking down on VPNs won't solve the country's age-check conundrum, as these essential security tools are not a teenage loophole, but a vital part of online protection. By breaking VPNs, the UK risks undermining online security for all users.

EU calls #VPNs “a loophole that needs closing” in age verification push -
NO NO NO,
Citizens Privacy is a right.
This has nothing at all to do with protecting children.
If it did EU would be outspoken about the Genocide in Gaza and the ongoing attacks on Lebanon and Iran.
On top Immigration Push backs would spare children's lives. EU Border forces coldly watch people,
men women and children drown...
Control us owned platforms that offer dangerous content not citizens.

It's official: #Utah is the U.S. state closest to #banning #VPNs - Yahoo Tech
When Utah's Senate Bill 73 goes into force on May 6, websites subject to the state's age verification law will be legally barred from explaining how to use a #VPN to get around age #restrictions. They'll also be liable for enforcing age #verification for any user within Utah's physical borders — regardless of their apparent virtual location.
