Meta is pimping out your 13 year old to users it has determined are paedophiles and will be attracted to a platform that lets them interact with minors.
And not a peep out of our Government, still touting all this "Technology Investment" that the American Peado King promised our Quisling Prime Minister.

VPNs protect families, businesses and democracy.

They keep NHS data secure, help parents manage online risks, and give people in repressive states access to news.

Treating VPNs as a “problem” is misguided. Attacking them is an exercise in throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Efforts should focus on educational measures for young people and regulating the age verification industry.

VPNs aren’t a meaningful threat to age assurance.

⚫ 6–12 year olds are very unlikely to use them, due to technological and economic barriers.

⚫ Older teens already know other workarounds. For these teenagers educational rather than ineffectve technical interventions might be more appropriate.

⚫ Adults use VPNs as they don’t trust unregulated age assurance providers with their personal data.

The UK Online Safety Act is ballooning in scope.

Bumping up 'self-harm' content as a priority offence means these sort of posts will be stripped from social media for adults and kids.

ORG's @JamesBaker explains how this change to the law will result in therapeutic or support content being censored.

BBC: I ordered drug-laced vapes on Snapchat. It was as easy as picking up pizza. “On Friday we published an article exposing these drug dealers who are selling vape liquid laced with spice to unwitting teenagers through adverts posted on the social media site.

With the Online Safety Act and similar laws, a troubling idea is emerging: proving your age online by uploading government-issued ID. On the surface, it’s about protecting children, but it opens the door to mass surveillance, centralized databases of personal data, and increased risk of identity theft. Once privacy is traded for access, it becomes harder to take back. The question isn’t just can we implement it, but should we.
