Me: "NO, you nitwits, I have an ad blocker on and I'm blocking your tracking pixels..."
(Actually: was not actually signed up for any of their emails yet, valid news source I have a subscription too but hadn't gotten that far. 🤔 )
VPNs must not face the chop 🚫
Next week the UK House of Lords will debate whether VPNs undermine the Online Safety Act.
Banning or blocking VPNs will shatter security, privacy and free expression in a self-defeating attempt to make the unworkable workable.

> using a virtual private network to appear to be in a country that does not have age verification is a free and easy way to get around any age-verification process.

The final hours. The last chance. But not the last fight.
Today, 🇩🇪 Germany said NO to ChatControl 💥 This could be the turning point 🔄 But it is not the end.
If tomorrow we manage to block this proposal - it will be a victory 🎉 But digital freedom does not defend itself. It must be protected. Every day. In every decision. In every update. In every voice 📢
Now is the time to do everything that is still left:
- Write to your MEP 
- Share information 🔁
- Mobilize others 🤝
- Do not stay silent 🤐
Because even if we win tomorrow - it is only the beginning. Because even if we lose - it is not the end.
Freedom does not vanish loudly. It disappears quietly 
Unless we defend it ✊

VPNs aren’t a meaningful threat to age assurance.
⚫ 6–12 year olds are very unlikely to use them, due to technological and economic barriers.
⚫ Older teens already know other workarounds. For these teenagers educational rather than ineffectve technical interventions might be more appropriate.
⚫ Adults use VPNs as they don’t trust unregulated age assurance providers with their personal data.

VPNs protect families, businesses and democracy.
They keep NHS data secure, help parents manage online risks, and give people in repressive states access to news.
Treating VPNs as a “problem” is misguided. Attacking them is an exercise in throwing the baby out with the bath water.
Efforts should focus on educational measures for young people and regulating the age verification industry.
