@openrightsgroup @JamesBaker How likely is the children's commissioner to get her way with a VPN ban? It seems the UK gov does not want to go down this route yet and even child safety campaigners think this would be a step to far... either way everyone needs to push back on this!

@openrightsgroup @JamesBaker Suggesting people get involving with political parties is naive at best and counterproductive at worst, the political system is set up so that those parties in power have to do what capitalists want. And banning vpns makes everyone's data more readily harvestable by capitalists. Being a "good apple" in a political party wont change this raw economic force, and parties fundamentally can't control capitalists its the other way around https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTwxpTyGUOI

@openrightsgroup @JamesBaker Even before this I am Inverness every time a company makes me lower my security by deactivating my VPN to access their services. They claim it's for their security, but we all know they want the data.

@openrightsgroup @JamesBaker These UK ministers probably know what they are talking about.

@openrightsgroup @JamesBaker there have been suggestions that VPNs should be age restricted. 🙄

@openrightsgroup @JamesBaker once they've blocked VPNs (which is unenforceable outside the UK) they will go after VPS where people can do DIY VPNs and proxies...

While I think everyone agrees it's not good for children to view a range of stuff, the whole reaction to it is technically deluded.

@openrightsgroup @JamesBaker VPNs were the next logical step I guess in the war on individual freedom.
