This will be interesting to follow. I dont see how this can be fully enforced. Maybe for iOS and other platform where app distribution is highly restricted, but on linux, windows and even macOS i can use mullvad, sending cash in an envelope without ever revealing my identity.

The idea is that it doesn't matter if the ban is fully enforced. Most children only have a smartphone and they're the target of the ban.

they can forbid mullvad.

How would that work? The UK can presumably ban Mullvad from operating in the UK, but I don't see how it can prevent outbound connections to Mullvad servers elsewhere, short of implementing a nation-wide firewall like China or Iran. And even in those places the firewall is pourous and routinely circumvented.

mullvad client relies on known servers, you could ban their access at the IP level from UK ISP. nothing complicated really
