Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
The UK House of Lords recently voted to potentially ban VPNs for under-eighteens, aiming to prevent kids from bypassing age checks for adult websites. This move comes as VPNs have gained popularity for secure remote work and privacy, but campaigners like Hugh Grant have expressed concerns. Additionally, the Lords backed a ban on social media for under-sixteens, inspired by Australian rules, to address online risks and their impact on childrens health and focus. The government is now conducting a three-month consultation on a social media ban and other measures, with results expected this summer. Checkout Solipillow.com
