EU Going To War With VPNs In Bid To "Save The Children" Western European governments and EU bureaucrats are advancing tighter regulations on VPNs as part of a broader push for "online age verification" and their ‘Chat Control’ agenda. Privacy advocates and digital rights groups warn that Europe is drifting towards a surveillance and censorship regime similar to internet restrictions and firewalls used by Russia and China.

"Child vulnerability" is a carefully chosen vehicle to manipulate public approval, opening the door to incremental government management of online content and discourse. Age verification sounds like a common sense reform in order to prevent children from accessing adult content, gambling sites, age limited products, etc. Some s...
