⚡🇬🇧 NEW - The UK government is moving forward with new rules under the Online Safety Act that will ban VPN services for anyone under 18.
VPN providers will be required to carry out age verification. This is expected to involve ID checks or other forms of personal identification to confirm users are 18 or older.
If enforced, adults in the UK would also need to prove their age with official ID to continue using most commercial VPN services.
The stated purpose is to prevent children from accessing age-inappropriate or harmful content online.
