minors are less likely to sign up for a vpn service.

  Hey parents I want a pixel phone. Why? Because my friend likes theirs. (Mentally: Because it has a built-in vpn.)

    Parents should be aware of what their children are doing online. If not, they are negligent.

      To an extent sure. Parents should also realize that adolescent youth will seek out pornography, and that's normal and not necessarily unhealthy.

  Why? Most VPN services accept crypto and other forms of payment. They can share accounts with their friends, use their parents credit cards, get their own debit cards (I had one a 14), or even using a pre-paid CC (I've not tried it, but I think it works). It's so easy to get access to a VPN as a minor. Also, the biggest selling point of VPNs is the ability to watch streaming services in other countries. So it's not a hard sell to parents.

    I can confirm that a prepaid CC can purchase a VPN sub, even good ones.

    yes, I know. It is just another point of friction to overcome. Most parents do not want their children exposed to sexual content.
