Ironically, kids might still get around the new restriction by using a virtual private network (VPN) connection, which virtually positions the computer in another country, at the time of signing up.

This is just going to be one long pointless game of whackamole and as effective as Prohibition was in the US.

The US claim they are going after the VPN companies now too. Of course it could be all lies and deflection like most things they say now.

That’s nonsense, VPN is tool needed to run companies. Even if they make VPNs business only, people will just register fake businesses

There is no such thing as “fake business”. The point is that the government identifies you when you want to use a VPN, so it’s either gonna be through your personal ID or through a business where you also register with the government and then they obviously also know your identity.
