From my read, I don't see this article making the case that UK is Poised to Ban VPNs. At least not directly.
As of July 25th, internet users in the United Kingdom are being asked to prove their age before accessing many of their favourite apps and websites.
Reddit, for example, redirects the user to a 3rd party data broker service, where they are asked to provide biometric face scans, official identity documents, or a similar measure.
Do you comply with these new requirements, or just find something else to do with your time?
Well, no, there's a third option of course: circumvention [VPN].
Not much directly. Indirectly: Reddit has been ramping up VPN bans for some time. It's pretty thorough from what I see.
We may wind still up in the same unwanted space (Gov's influence over browsing) but thru different enforcement measures.
