The thing that got me was the bbc stated 6000 porn sites. I know of 2. It seems now all the media is doing is advertising VPNs as a work around and letting people know there’s plenty of porn sites if you look around.
Sites that are meant to be conducting age verification are not allowed to publicise ways of evading age verification - which obviously includes VPNs. It’s not a topic ban per se, it’s a ban on evading the law, which is a fairly common principle in UK legislation (e.g. see what happens if you get caught with a speed camera detector in your car).
