Let’s go the way of China, Russia and Iran Sarah Champion.
To protect the children.
nothing protects children more than facing criminal punishment, for wanting privacy.
this country, and the whole world ostensibly, has truly entered an age of the [new world order](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World_Order_conspiracy_theory); conspiracy for a while, but it really does appear to be both real and very much present.
Well that would be truly dystopian.
Also, the government complaining that free vpns funnel your data, when banning them would just do that for them instead – probably what they wanted in the first place
This is a problem they have created
VPN is old technology.
Encrypting data or traffic should be your right.
I know criminals use it but the use case is valid for various kinds of research, business trust and security and personal data.
A ban is hammer to a needless nail.
“Katie Freeman-Tayler, of children’s safety group Internet Matters, said on Thursday that availability of free and low cost VPN services to children, and their potential use of them, was “concerning”.”
oh fuck off, this endless pearl clutching is getting very old now
Just skip the middle man and start charging monthly for wanking licences.
> Reports Guido Fawkes
Ie. The source is trash and probably false
I really see this as interesting. So How do i then connect to HackTheBox or TryHackMe to continue my cyber security studies? I have to use a VPN because of the tools I use. And so I dont go out of scope.
What about connecting to a VPN service to get my eJPT certificate? or my PEN-200 certificate for my OSCP course?
Katie Freeman-Tayler, of children’s safety group Internet Matters. I think its time for that little “Chat”.
A new idea for our indebted government – a wanking tax. You have to log into PornHub with your National Insurance number and pay a wanking tax up front before getting access.
Clickbait nonsense.
No mention in the article of Labour having any actual plans to ban VPNs
Just mention of one MP who campaigned against them years ago.
> UK households could face VPN ‘ban’ after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill
Good luck with that. anyone can get a vps in say, Japan and configure that to be a vpn host. Can’t police that.
Earth “could” explode if asteroid hits it. I “could” wake up a millionaire. Lots of things “could” happen, it doesn’t mean they will.
Child safety online is a carrot on a stick. Just ban children under 16 from the internet and/or force parents to actually look at what their kids are getting up to online; don’t just give them a phone and hope they grow up okay.
The Online Safety Bill is bad enough, we don’t need to make things worse than it already is. Why can’t these parents just use parental controls? The rest of the country is having to suffer this bullshit because some parents just can’t be arsed to parent their kids.
The only sort of positive-but-not-really-a-positive is that at least we’re not the only nation going through this shit, Australia and Canada are also dealing with it. Did all the Commonwealth nations decide to choose authoritarianism?
Oh yes, all those children out there paying for VPN’s.
“We want child protection online where you have to prove you’re over 18!!” “No!! Not like that!!”
Clueless lawmakers. They can’t effectively ban VPN’s.
Just as clueless as this age verification system was.
The Birmingham Mail love to publish sensational stories that have no real foundation. I’m sure half of the stuff they publish is just AI generated from a few random keywords.
This is just big brother shit now, ban vpns? Yes because that stopped people watching porn and things they shouldn’t. All this does is spy on the innocent while pushing the criminals deeper to find.
Almost everyone that works from home uses a VPN. Good luck with that.
Wow Labour acting like the Nazis by banning freedoms? That is a turn around for the books
As per usual, nobody here has actually read the article. Labour has not said that they’re considering banning VPNs. One Labour MP said that Ofcom should _investigate_ how VPNs are allowing children to circumvent the controls. Anything else is complete speculation, which is unsurprising given that the source is Guido Fawkes. But no, what’s the point of actually reading if we can just get hysterical instead?
I do wonder how many under 18 years on here are just upset they need to prove they are 18 to get ready access to porn. 🤔
Do these know nothing green ink nutters not understand how remote working WORKS?
The fact BANNED was in capital letters, when no one said banned makes the artcile instant bollocks.
But why would people read an article
The government’s own systems use VPNs. As do most private systems for working from home.
It is not feasible in the slightest to just ban ban ban until people start to behave how you prefer they behave.
We should write to our MP and say we will vote for reform. That they will listen.
Those darn children with their credit cards and their VPNs!
