@gamingonlinux as anyone with half a brain has predicted

@mspcommentary @gamingonlinux It's just politicians pretending that they can "do something" when in practice it's impossible. Security Theatre.
@Fonant @mspcommentary @gamingonlinux Lords is not even politicians for the most part. Closer would be "angry mostly white male old people's home residents"
Sooner they get abolished for something democratic the better.

@gamingonlinux@mastodon.social How long until I'll have to verify my age just to be able to step out of my fucking front door?

@gamingonlinux This is impossible, unless they're only talking about a few of the biggest general-purpose VPN providers. In which case they'll simply redirect users to smaller or self-hosted VPN servers.
You can't restrict access to VPNs any more than you can restrict access to encryption algorithms.
@Fonant It's what you get when you put a bunch of likely tech illiterate old farts in charge.
They don't really understand tech or feasibility, they just say "let it be done".Ask any of them what a VPN roughly is and they will likely give a very inaccurate answer.

@gamingonlinux I wonder how this will work with Mullvad. I guess they will simply stop selling their vouchers on amazon UK, as they collect no user id data, making them still available from neighbour countries ? Their servers can't be blocked, most of the major providers have servers in the same networks.
