The older kids will get around this anyway, and subject themselves to even worse material. Many of us on here warned of this long ago.

This legislation won't affect children with responsible parents as inappropriate websites won't be accessible anyway, it's those that aren't or can't be responsible that it
aims to protect.

Indeed and Ofcom have always recognised this.
Guido Fawkes has said that he thinks that the Government will/could ban VPN's to stop those circumventing the new law, but they have issued a statement saying that they aren't going to do this.
Farage has said that Reform would repeal at least this part of the Act, so the technology secretary asked if this meant that he supported those that target children.
In response he has said that he wants an apology for it being said that he supports online predators, when it wasn't said that he did.
