      Let’s hope the mods won’t delete it like the last time I tried to discuss about the topic

      What’s next? A telescreen in every home, just in case?

      Hard to pull off at an EU level, seeing as how the EU is currently “at war” with Big Tech losing even more support from the industry by regulating VPN will push us back into the digital stone age.

      What we are seeing here isn’t about protecting the children but greedy politicians who try to outrun established rights and regulations to get what Big Tech has: user information.

      Fuck this, I’ll use VPNs even harder. Gonna get myself a vps in Mongolia or some shit, good luck prying that out of my hands.

    7. ahora-mismo on

      there will be no vpn regulation. i can just get a vps and make my own vpn in a few minutes. also, vpns are required by most of the companies to access their internal resources. rule by the stupid, for the stupid.

      They will stop at nothing until you have no privacy.

      They will stop at nothing until you surrender to mass surveillance.

      They will stop at nothing because they are scared of us.

    9. Aggeloz on

      So we’re literally just overlooking the whole point of VPNs

    10. SharpPROSOLDIER on

      Is that the whole text for now? Rest is keywords that lead to a variety of topics.

      Everyone always say “uhhh that slippery slide argument is stupid, just because they want to verify age for social media doesn’t it’s turn into xyz” and now they are trying to ban vpns, the UK is arresting artists for their own art, and some EU countries want to have all online activity linked to you legal name so they can supervise literally everything you do. I really hope they don’t take away vpns, that’ll be the end of Internet freedom

    12. BandicootSolid9531 on

      haha yeees… their main concern – “protection of children”
      to EU regulators – what children exactly, since we aren`t making them anymore?

    13. Caetys on

      EU doing literally everything except for holding parents accountable for leaving their kids unsupervised with tech that has access to the web.

    14. Kiwibom on

      The other day i was sort of laughing when i saw that age verification was required to use an iphone or a ps5 in the UK but honestly at this rate, this shit will also happen in the EU. Like what’s next, age verification to watch TV, drive a Car, use the fridge, …

      I’m all for protecting the kids but this is going way way too far. Like man, those things should the work of the fu*** parents to restrict or not what their kids can do or watch.

    15. hainspoint on

      I swear six months ago we were all laughing at russia doing the same.

    16. razvanciuy on

      Unless the target is to stop normies from looking into VPNs, there is nothing anyone can do about it.

    19. papabear1993 on

      So, EU is trying to force VPNs, the tools we use to be anonymous from companies and government, to get, store and (lets be real) share our personal information. Basically, they will kill VPNs, because which user would pay to give away his personal info?

    20. prevent-the-end on

      🤔 this document seems more like a “problem statement” than a policy proposal?

      Basically it highlights “this is an issue in focus” but provides no solutions.

      The idea of banning children from using VPN’s would be quite something, as if kids were not allowed to have privacy. Which is quite the ironic statement coming from someone who is supposedly “protecting children”.

    21. Suspicious_Place1270 on

      everyone voting for this should then post a public log of every app they use and let their keystrokes be monitored at all times 24/7/365 so we, the people, can manage them just the way they want to manage us

      after 1 month they’ll all reconsider being stupid

    22. Sicherheitssteuerung on

      starting to think an EU exit is maybe a good idea

    23. rebellioninmypants on

      So what did VPNs ever do to you? Every remote worker uses them, everyone who has their own server running in their house uses them to access their data, everyone who wants to browse region-locked websites uses them.

      People who go to caffees and airports use them. Journalists and victims of abuse use them on daily basis.

    26. MotanulScotishFold on

      If it does China or Russia = Bad.

      If it does Europe = It’s good.

      Can you stop with this hypocrisy once for all? We don’t need these dumb rules for ‘safety’. It’s straightforward surveillance that can be used anytime against citizens if one day the regime in a country becomes authoritarian.

      Black mirror and 1984 Book from Orwell are a documentary.

      We need to stop this once for all until it’s too late.

    27. lorp_ on

      The worst thing? There are common people who see no issue with this type of scenario (and neither with chat control or mandatory age verification), to the point they even cheer for these policies.

      Some people are utterly brain dead and politicians are taking advantage of them

    28. Tinyjar on

      Once they realise how unworkable this is, countries will go further: Mandatory recording/scanning of all actions on the OS level. “We need to be able to scan all of your files 24/7 to detect criminal behaviour. THINK OF THE CHILDREN! ARE YOU A PEDO??!”

    29. StuartWtf on

      How about we go after the pedophile elites? I think that will do more to “protect the kids” than any of this Orwellian bullshit

    30. Owl-Of-The-Night02 on

      EU doing the best in can to push me into being pro small-government after being pro big-goverment for the majority of my life. For the love of god, leave us alone. You’re fighting the wrong battles EU, as always in the past years. If you want a safer Internet, how about you ask corporations to regulate their platforms better? Crazy idea, I know.

    31. TheDeerBlower on

      Can they stop pretending they care about the children or whatever the fuck and admit it’s just for massive surveillance already?

    32. jg119972 on

      Is this to “protect us” even more /s, 1984 was a warning not a guide, but it seems they want to know what we do at all times

    33. Max_FI on

      I have never heard of children using VPNs to circumvent age limits. That is a ridiculous excuse.

    34. melpheos on

      Because clearly the children are the ones using VPN to watch porn…. Come’on

    35. GonzAnt on

      “Some argue that access to VPN services should be restricted to users above a digital age of majority.”

      VPN services require a payment method that intrinsically requires majority. If children are using these it is parent/guardian neglect. Don’t think arguments for this will hold.

    36. sf-keto on

      So out of touch. Most businesses use VPNs for remote workers & other processes to maintain security & other privacy.

      Does the EU loathe commerce now? Have they consulted business at all here?

    37. CrazyWriterHippo on

      “We need to protect the children” say the pedophiles in charge while they strip away the freedoms and privacy of their victims.

      Is this another rage bait caused by a single MEP’s stance or is the work supported by a majority of MEPs?

    40. prettygirlavenue on

      You can pry my VPN out of my cold dead fucking hands

    41. VanTavion on

      Meh, colour me doubtful.

      From the looks of it, the author claims there might (key word might) be VPN related measures as part of the child-safety criteria within the revision of the Cybersecurity Act (CyberSecurity Act 2 I assume). Small issue, in the proposed revision of January the word VPN does not appear even once, and I can’t find anything that would imply that they’re considering it during the judicial review. At most it will be brought up during the Irish Presidency of the EU given that they want online child safety to be a EU focus, but since their Minister for Media has been getting mad nobody in Brussels seems to care about that, I can’t imagine the EU commission would act independently… or care that much.

      tl;dr: they’re not doing shit.
