Instead of protecting kids, it's peeing off every adult. VPNs will just be the norm and then they'll be less protection. Those that give details out will probably end up subjected to some hack/leak of some kind. All this for what? And at what cost, apart from looking like a dictatorship country and a laughing stock.
As of this evening, 5 of the top 10 are still VPNs.

Number 5 is Yoti, a digital ID app. But Proton VPN has knocked ChatGPT off the top spot.

Opera browser (with VPN) is in at number 16.
