If the app on the kid's phone knows that the phone is registered in the UK, how would a VPN circumvent it?

This would only work for anyone foolish enough to attempt to access content and services with their phone. You don't own your phone. It might has well be a company-owned device.

"But everyone uses their phone all the time!" Yes, and everyone will be worse off for making the obviously worse choice.

"But everyone uses their phone all the time!"

Kids do.

Sure if they want to circumvent and go home and use Dad's laptop to cyberbully or send pictures of their wang they probably could ...

Suppose the user isn't using a device that leaks its location to any userland software that asks?

[feurio]

Not it's location.

You know perfectly well what I meant.

Doesn't sound like the kind of device that your average schoolkid has in their pocket?

[cjs_ac]

Are you the Sisyphus of goalposts or something?

[feurio]

I am willing to be educated; does the average schoolkid carry such a device?

I suspect that the number of kids using not using an app on a device that is aware of its locality is a rounding error.

Tesco* phones on some network's family plan must be 95th percentile.
