Or they are just finding alternative sources that either don't track or dont give that sort of info.

Taken from that BBC page:
That's probably because those viewing in the UK are now, miraculously, viewing from Albania, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Romania, Turkey etc etc :Yes:

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

The best check would be seeing how much increased traffic those other countries have had.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

And why would they provide that

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

I didn't t
Say they would. However if those most common VPN countries should increased porn activities then its clear what is happening. Rather than simply saying, oh look UK porn site activity is dropped.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

For shits and giggles I went to a website that uses yoti and tried the age estimation using a camera and it simple does not work anyway. Just a spinning estimating age wait page.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

Thats the point of VPNs, they dont appear to be from the UK anymore. ;)

Btw, do you really think those 1 million visitors were underage ?

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

Is possibly the more pertinent question with regards to this topic.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

Not all of them no, I suspect that some will be adults who can't be bothered verifying their age, aren't able to do so or don't feel comfortable passing personal details onto a porn site who have decided to go down the VPN route instead.

Good point.

Re: The earlier rumour that the Government was thinking of banning the use of VPN's. The answer is no and it won't matter too much as not many children actively seek out inappropriate material, it finds them:

Of course the government won’t ban VPN’s there’s significant legitimate usage.

And how does inappropriate material find them? Does it sneak into a cage and replace hamster with xhamster ? And then xhamster sends subliminal messages whilst it’s drinking from the bottle going ‘look at me, look at me’

Children are inherently inquisitive and very prone to peer pressure , that can only be managed by parenting, you can have all the technical plans that you like but, without good parenting they will be doomed to fail.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

Not saying you did , my question was/is how would that be done

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

It would not matter if they did.
As I said before, all you need is a proxy server, easy to set up and use (and share).

Guess we shall see where that one ends up...

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

What we have said all along, they have no power over other countries, they're just delusional.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
 

Does Virgin Media allow the use of VPNs on its system?
