I hate the Online Safety Act as much as the next person, but:

- Labour have made no plans to ban VPNs.

- One MP wanted to add a clause for a government review into the impact of VPNs on the bill after 6 months, with no direction on what that would mean.

- I have no idea if this clause actually got added, but it'd make sense. If you're going to introduce a stupid law you should at least plan to review if the stupid law is having any impact.

- GB news is bottom of the barrel propaganda.

> clause for a government review into the impact of VPNs on the bill after 6 months

thats government speak for deciding to do something about the VPN problem. because there is no way a commission will not find a good reason to ban VPNs when you reach that point, because you could argue they help avoid UK restrictions.

That's paranoia speak. You can express that anxiety without falsely stating it as fact.

thats not paranoia when you have seen it happening before your very eyes 100 times before.
