I'm sure the decline in standards had nothing at all to do with Governments deciding to severely restrict the ways that parents (and teachers) could punish kids for being unruly tearaways.

People of my age (ha) grew up with a clip round the earhole from parents (and the local bobby), and got the cane at school for being naughty. This taught two valuable lessons:

1) you didn't do it again
2) if you did it again, you adapted so you didn't get caught.

nowadays kids don't care . .
Opponents of punishment for unacceptable behaviour say that we tell kids not to fight & that violence is not the answer, but then go on to encourage this by using physical punishment against them.

I can see their point, but we now have the benefit of hindsight after ceasing physical punishment for children and look where it's got us?

Could websites not simply ban all known VPN's to achieve this, or isn't it as easy as this?

Would it be possible to use a non blocked VPN to across another preferred, but blocked, VPN?
