Hah.
If you want to raise a generation of people capable of hiding their online activity more effectively trying to get between a teenager and smut is basically the way to do it.
I'm pretty sure that VPN's and Tor will explode in popularity if they ever manage to enforce this in any way beyond the most silly methods.
Also hello escalating arms race.

- crtasm 8y agoA credit card, or PayPal, or some cryptocurrency, or the ability to install Opera browser, etc etc. If they sidestep your ISP's block list that's hardly nothing?
- lb1lf 8y ago-A suitable VPN will make it appear that you are in a country with more enlightened censorship laws than the UK. I can hardly see say, SwissVPN adapting the block list for customers whose traffic originates in the UK. The upside of this whole debacle is that the UK government have finally created a strong incentive for the UK population to educate themselves on online privacy and censorship evasion; the EFF should send Theresa May a (snarky!) thank you-note.
