This is deranged, each nation’s boomers and reactionaries attempting to outdo the others: “Action to prohibit the provision of VPN services to children in the United Kingdom” … th…
They don’t do that there? I mean not open and inspect but inspect outside. In the US all pieces of mail are photographed for tracking people down after the fact.
Anyways as mail sorting is done automatically with computers blocking mailed payments to their address would be beyond trivial. Just have machines sort it straight to MI6 or the London Police or a special naughty bin. True I suppose people could use re-mailer services though those are kind of hard to find, kind of expensive, and most of them are for package forwarding for people buying from abroad so not the types of companies who would resist pressure on a front like this as this group of people would be more trouble than they’re worth making up a fraction of their business.
They’ll block access to the VPN service’s main webpage that sells the product, same as they block any other online service that does not comply with laws.
how would you even enforce this lmao
Suppressing the technology is impossible. Targeting the payment processors is trivial.
Proton VPN and rise up VPN both offer free VPN options
Friendly reminder that Mullvad encourages payment in cash. Can’t target that payment processor
I mean the mail probably could intercept packages to mullvads addresses
Admittedly true, but way more work, and probably infeasible unless the UK restarted arbitrarily inspecting all mail

Get one VPN where you identify yourself. Then use it to bypass the block and get another VPN. Bam.
One kid with a VPN could make a lotta playground moolah by enabling others.
yeah if a vpn has no actual business in the uk, and they obviously tell the government to fuck off, what next?
