I guess maybe this was sarcasm. If so, carry on good sir.
I am not the OP, but I interpreted them as suggesting this serves as a good form of censorship while advertised as improving child safety.
Shocking! Unprecedented! Film at 11!
Because yeah, fuck that shit. The presumption should be that all content on the internet is for adults. If you want your site to be child friendly you can opt into a higher standard of moderation. How did we go from the internet is for porn to this?!
You can't get an internet connection if you aren't an adult. There is always an adult giving the child access who is in a position to apply filtering. From your house to schools to libraries access is mediated by an adult, use that.
VPNs aren't capable of harming kids. They aren't content and even the usual imagined harms can't be caused by a VPN.
The Gov's entire argument seems to be 'We aren't getting our way".
