  The ban was announced in response to concerns that social media is unsafe, making children miserable, and could cause lasting damage to their mental health.

  Sanction the companies doing the bad thing, not the people that have been brainwashed and made addicted to these harmful services, and by extension legitimate users of these technologies that are not harmed by these services.

  How will it be enforceable? Will they mandate all ISPs perform deep packet inspection and block the various VPN protocols?

  What about those people who require a VPN for work?

    They’ll just make it impossible to download them.

    They’ll instruct Google and apple to stop hosting the apps on mobile and They’ll threaten the big ones like Proton with legal action if they continue to offer them to British customers.

    So it’ll push legit users to dodgy VPNS.

    As for employers, like any government they won’t have thought of this
