Guess Australia will get a lot of kids well-versed in VPN use.
- gregoryl 2y agoI've recently been teaching kids to code (in Aus) - 7 year olds already know about VPNs, and use them to circumvent various roadblocks to playing roblox!
- AlchemistCamp 2y agoFew things in this world can stop kids from finding a way to play their favorite video games.
- Hizonner 2y agoUntil they ban VPNs. Moral panics acknowledge no bounds of sanity.

- hn_acker 2y agoThe extent to which China "does not have a blanket VPN ban" is of no help to people who want to bypass the Great Firewall.
- vidarh 2y agoBanning VPNs requires significant investment in filtering traffic, because the VPNs these kids will be using won't be hosted in Australia.
- ocschwar 2y agoWhat we'll learn first is how schools use the new law as a tool for limiting device access in general and kids spend 8 hours a day reliving Gen-X.
- lm28469 2y agoAccording to recent studies kids don't know what a file or a folder is and can't even copy/paste anymore, I think we have a good margin.
- vidarh 2y agoYou don't need any of those things to figure out how to install a VPN. My son had installed a VPN before he knew those concepts because a VPN mattered to him to circumvent region locks while knowing what folders are didn't.
