There's many reasons why people would use a VPN, but if it's for privacy reasons, people should satisfy themselves that the VPN provider is trustworthy as they will gain access to everything they do on the internet.

Just as I have said another reason to make sure you get a self hosted VPN etc, not only will you avoid a lot of the stupid age checks, but you will be able to actually access the internet without giving this useless government more and more information.

Thanks. I personally doubt that the Government would ban VPN's for both technical & political reasons.
