  I bet they’re gonna try and require VPN websites to put age checks on them.

    Oh boy, I can’t wait for the thriving trade in VPN accounts made outside of the UK then sold to UK citizens by a third party.

    That seems like a very safe bet:

    Dame Rachel told BBC Newsnight: “Of course, we need age verification on VPNs - it’s absolutely a loophole that needs closing and that’s one of my major recommendations.”

      I expect Dame Rachel will be subsequently calling for age verification on VPSes and servers when she’s made aware that anyone might just set up their own VPN server on any of those.

        Don’t get too comfortable with the idea of the US in any way being a roadblock to the UK. Our government is extremely interested in exactly the same kind of bullshit.
