The Children's Commissioner said today that people accessing porn in the UK had severely reduced, but that the use of VPN's had severely increased. As a result she is to recommend to the Government that age verification is extended to VPN's.

Do you not see yet, Richard, that the Online Safety Act simply isn’t working, just as we all said it wouldn’t.
