Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
Its increasingly worrying just how incredibly stupid these people are.
When are they going to learn that people will NOT just give their IDs to random companies to "check".
Once again, people will just bypass this by using more "dodgy" VPNs (or just make your own, I have two of my own).
Plus of course, as I have said repeatedly, you dont need a VPN for browsing, you can just use a proxy server (public, paid, or your own).

Suicidal Government, it's almost like they KNOW they're incompetent, and are pushing to actively lose the next (or an early) election and get back to the easier snide sniping from the back benches

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
The desire to limit the use of VPN's to stop people bypassing restrictions (and using other countries for streaming purposes) appears to be spreading around the world:

Experts said to be worried.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
Experts are worried, lmao. Of course they are. Their attempts to control via age restrictions are meaningless as so easily bypassed. They cannot ban VPNs however.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
You should never take notice of experts, it's almost as crazy as using Facebook as the best source of 'up to date' information on football or politics.
Just look what 'experts' have done to us over the last 10 years or so

I thought we were told not to listen to experts around 10 years ago...

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
Once again, just utter nonsense.
How many time does this need to be said, you cannot just "monitor" what a VPN is being used for.
These morons really need to get a dictionary and look up "Private".
Saying its illegal to use one for certain purposes is meaningless, its like saying you cannot smoke in your house anymore, short of coming into your house to watching you, know one is going to know.

There is actually a country (can't remember which) that banned smoking indoors, including in one's own home! In the UK I know of several landlords that prohibit their tenants from smoking in their homes by putting this in their tenancy agreements.

The point was, that you can legislate it. But not enforce it.
