Comment on The UK’s Online Safety Act is a licence for censorship – and the rest of the world is following suit

This is all theatre. They know they have no legitimate reason to ban VPNs. Their justification for all of this is protect the children if they start banning VPNs they’re going to start getting asked some incredibly awkward questions about how that’s going to work.

Yup they just want more control, they know they can’t have total control. So why ban VPNs, only a fraction of people uses them.

Most of the people who use VPNs use them for work as well. It would be an impossible task to craft a law in such a way that didn’t ban VPNs of the business use but did for private use other than to just come out and say that.
