    They’d have to keep it for businesses. So I guess next headline: number of uk sole traders jumps by 1400%.

    Also it’s only a viable solution as long as there are countries that don’t have age verification laws. 10 years from now there’s going to be a very busy VPN endpoint somewhere in Antarctica.

    It’s a bandaid fix that doesn’t address the actual problem.
