Legislators in the USA and Europe are contemplating banning adult websites entirely. These actions have significant, long-term as well as immediate effects. Millions of users install virtual private networks (VPNs) to conceal their locations, but many fake organisations distribute malicious applications disguised as genuine VPN services. In their efforts to protect their data, many unknowingly expose it to servers in China and Russia. New restrictions could hinder the functioning of VPN services. The U.K. government states it will continue monitoring and assessing the effectiveness of the Online Safety Act to safeguard children online effectively.
A UK poll revealed that 55% of UK adults support banning VPNs for under-18s. Some USA legislators intend to implement similar measures.
