Just means more VPNs are being used to bypass this stupid piece of legislation.

It's interesting that simple Javascript can be used by e.g PornHub to predict VPN usage by Brits: "What is the browser's timezone, and what is it's language?"

If the connection is coming from New York, but the browser says it's UTC+1 and en_GB...

This is what the Australian Government wants to implement (unfortunately) for social media.

They want the websites to take "reasonable" action to prevent access. They suggested snooping on EXIF metadata to determine the location of the image to Meta.

Good chance they'll use stuff like browser fingerprinting too.

To be clear, I'm thinking PornHub can do this and show us the data, so we can laugh at the UK government about how effective their policy is.

Then again, it might mean the UK government might ban commercial VPNs next...
