    People are using VPNs to circumvent identity verification, so this solves nothing.

      Yeah thats why theyre now pushing tmfor verification to allow use of VPNs. Im not techy enough to know how this could actually be enforced, but if they pull it off using a VPN to gain access to a VPN sounds tricky.

      What does that have to do with this discussion? If you can bypass this EU system, you can also bypass the less private British one. No reason to push the less private one unless age verification is not your true goal.

          You want to ask what does the existence of a widely accepted privacy-preserving solution, while the government is pushing a privacy-destroying one, have to do with the original comment of “the people pushing it being suspicious”? Now you are just trolling.

            Jesus fuck, I’m so tired of this “everyone who disagrees with me or I don’t understand is ‘trolling’” nonsense. I can’t even be bothered to discuss anything further. Goodbye.
