Interesting that they mention the UK but forget that the EU also wants to protect the kids by banning VPNs

So your strategy when you are trying to change someones mind is to mention a lot of other people think like the mind you are trying to change?

Could you explain what is the theory behind that?

This is a fairly difficult problem. I think the internet should be for adults only, like many other things. But we've fucked up by giving children internet access and it's going to be hard to undo it. I think rather than fighting these measures we need to work on alternatives because keeping children off the internet is a good idea, we just need to implement it in a good way. What about just banning phones for childr…

I had internet since I was a kid. By attacking the internet you are attacking my homeland.

> VPNs are essential privacy tools Does Mozilla not understand that this is the exact reason why the UK wants to forbid them?

And that's also the reason why they introduced "age verification". It's not age verification, they couldn't care less about children. Age verification is just mass surveillance under a fake name.

Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.

Or we could realize that there are already 2 generations that grew while having access to the internet and turned out perfectly fine?

We are many things, but "fine" isn't one of them.

How much the problems today are due to, rather than coincidental with, the internet, is a much more difficult thing to discern.
