Yep, sounds believable enough to me, I don't know many kids of 16/17 years of age that would lie about using a VPN when asked

In other words, we know we cannot block them so we will forget that bit.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
Probably told by ISP's that they wouldn't block them on a network level and the VPN providers probably said "we will not give the ip's to you for all the servers, even though we could just change them after giving them to you".
There is ways to block them, it's not really difficult, I can do it on my home network albeit my slightly more advanced than the normal home user network but still, I can block them easily but don't because why bother, it's not going to change anything.
The simple way they will go about the data collection that they want is to force a keylogger etc on your systems, we have already seen this with Edge, with LG and nGreedia, there is more stuff that people are ignoring or don't know about and so it will just be "accepted" by the vast majority.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
Should really never trust what people say to researchers, it really depends on what and of cause the wording of the question.

Re: Online Safety Bill Etc
Doubt it, he will probably double down on it, too much money to lose if he tried to stop it.

You have to think about it in the way that Digital ID, plus the OSA is being used and what services and business's are being created to specifically deal with this BS!
Let's say "Data Scrapper" one aka Microslop say's "we are not going to invest £x Million/Billion in your country if you remove these law's", all of a sudden the leader of that country says "oh we have thought about it again and we are not going to remove it" questions get asked why and no real answer is given, but behind the scenes anyone with common sense knows "money" that is the reason!
