In closing, Iβll say as an aside - just generally the calibre of debate was absolutely awful. Unstructured, disconnected points. Fallacies as far as the eye can see. Bad metaphorsβ¦ Far better orators in my form debating society. Where are we getting these people? #OnlineSafetyAct
So, it's definitely looking like they'll force commercial VPN providers to age-gate their offerings in the UK.
If they do that, I suppose the play for obtaining a VPN in the UK will be to self-host (via something like DigitalOcean or EC2) or make the purchase via cryptocurrency using an Onion site. Without getting into "technicalities" (which I think proved themselves to be unhelpful during the original OSA discussions), I wonder if Tor itself will be classified as a VPN?
