What the heck media are these folks consuming to have such a warped view of this country?
Isn't everyone under the age of 16 using a VPN doing so through their parent's billing?
Can't seem to link the section but down this page are some options that don't require that: https://mullvad.net/en/pricing
Requiring me to upload my ID to invoke ssh with the -D flag should certainly be a top legislative priority of the United Kingdom
