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 BTW the Government has withdrawn its request to apple to put a back door in there software so they could snoop on users data, Apple told them to sod off.

They haven't said that they will do. If they decided to, I have no idea- which is why I was asking about the technicalities of doing so.

What hurdles do you envisage?
