UK House of Lords attempting to ban use of VPNs by anyone under 16

Summary

This is deranged, each nation’s boomers and reactionaries attempting to outdo the others: “Action to prohibit the provision of VPN services to children in the United Kingdom” … the provider of any Relevant VPN Service which is, or is likely to be — (i) offered or marketed to persons in the United Kingdom; (ii) provided to a significant number of persons. (c) must make provision for the monitoring and effective enforcement of the child VPN prohibition. VPNs are a technology which anyone can implement for themselves. “Regulatory compliance” of them is not feasible, it’d be like banning DIY. Not to mention it would include The Tor Project.
