It’s bullshit. Children cannot buy an internet connection in the first place. Dont let the state lie to you about age-verification, it’s identity verification, they want to know who is doing what, age has nothing to do with it.
Yes, you are right, it is.
(although the “children can’t buy internet” argument that turns up every time this topics are discussed, is also bullshit).
it’s identity verification
Yep, totally. End of anonymous use of the internet is the wet dream of some (primarily conservative) politicians.
But this has not been the point of my comment.
Rather that distributing fake news (“want to ban VPNs”) doesn’t magically become the right thing to do because the cause is a righteous one.
(The) argument that (children can’t buy internet) (…) is also bullshit
You can’t just say it’s bullshit and not provide a counter argument. Are you insinuating that children will use their parent’s internet? Fine, but how does that change for VPNs? They can’t buy a VPN subscription either, so they would have to use their parent’s VPN accounts, and then the age verification has been bypassed anyway.
