Going to buy shares in VPN providers.

Seriously though, this just feels like the walls closing in on the freedom we had online. There’s no way these powers won’t be extended into more surveillance and censorship generally, now that they’re in the door. We all lose.

And it won’t make the lives better for miserable children whom this bill is supposed to help - if anything, by controlling online content more they have even fewer places to reach out and find help without ‘somebody watching’.

The children prone to “online harms” will just find another outlet, and the parents (probably responsible for their misery in the first place) will switch to blaming that and demanding legislation to control it. Rinse and repeat.

Just make sure you sell, before the same governments legislate back doors in those same vpns.

Or, your OS.

Absolutely. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of the major VPN providers already has back doors for the NSA and GCHQ. Looking at you NordVPN
