Hello ,

As the title says what happens if theUK requires age verification for VPN’s or makes it illegal to use them?

Does that mean everyone will move to tor or I2P?

It seems if the UK gov keep pushing their agenda under the guise of protecting children people will increasingly go dark .

I guess what I’m asking is how does everyone think this will unfold?

They can try, they can't effectively stop it.

    I mean they very well could. I mean it seems to be going this way anyway but separate networks. No global Internet just a bunch of networks each country controls.

    Given the reliance on US and other overseas companies, to completely isolate the UK in their own intranet would be next to impossible. Only North Korea has that kind of network.
