Well, well, well. The “age assurance” part of the UK’s Online Safety Act has finally gone into effect, with its age checking requirements kicking in a week and a half ago. And what do you kno…
I’m also glad the UK demonstrated to everyone why more surveillance isn’t the answer (and I hope they ask what the correct answer could have or should have been).
what will they care? they’re capitalists. they purchase the forces and they don’t understand the tech and we’re all too distracted, poor, tired, and one check away from death anyway.
Every company and its mother uses a vpn for a variety of work related stuff. And I’m not talking about remote working, but secure connections, remote assistance, communications between different work sites… Banning vpns as a whole is so stupid that I’d love to see them try and crash the economy.
lol this legislation might be trash from top to bottom but it sure don’t mean commercial VPNs are a good thing
contrary to the general opinion i think attaching social media accounts to real identities anonymously (which is remarkably easy to do) will go a very long way to solving the bot, troll, commercial and foreign influence issues with social media. while still being private and anonymous
To someone in e.g. the USA, doing as you may may literally be the difference between life and death, when agents show up at your door for exercising the incorrect opinion. I presume here that the “anonymous” part is only what is shared with the public, but since you mentioned “real identities” that is the part that is dangerous.
Contrary to the general opinion, I think this law is positive: it’s teaching everyone how absolutely needed a VPN is nowadays.
Got Mullvad a year ago because Sky fuck with your internet if they’re able, but damn, am I pleased to have it now.
It’s teaching me that a guillotine is needed.

Yeah, the USA and the UK leads in that nowadays IMO, showing off what not to do.
until critical mass and vpn access or usage is criminalized :(
I’d love to see them try and realize why that is such an incredibly bad idea.

you fail to recognize that the process will involve simply kissing the boots and approved vpns will be fine. (backdoors included)
