Best guess about the downvotes: UK lawmakers have already discussed VPN crackdowns. Not sure at what stage the proposals are. So it’s not a slippery slope argument. Such laws are part of what builds a Great Firewall.
At some point the argumemt that it’s to “protect the children” rather than to control and monitor what adults do will fall flat when more and more difficult to use work arounds keep getting banned that realistically only adults would employ.
I have never denied the possibility of VPN ban, I have just pointed out the clickbait in the headline.
It’s not like some random article is going to save us from government oppression. Also, does anybody remember ACTA? It was a big deal like 15 years ago and was supposed to end digital piracy. lol
Either the governments don’t really care what we all click at on our personal devices or the technology develops at a faster pace than law. Either way, we are safe. That is, until the the more power-hungry people get in charge.
