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.

I dont recall her saying that.

Good luck putting Age verification on VPN's provided from outside the UK.

Please explain to me how this joke of a Government will force Age verification on a VPN provided from let's say Japan.

The view i have is that these Government advisers don't have a sodding clue about VPN's or how they are provided. They seem to think the Government can force any company they want be it in the UK or outside to do as they say. BTW the Government has withdrawn its request to apple to put a back door in there software so they could snoop on users data, Apple told them to sod off.
