First they came for porn. Now they're coming for music. Teenagers in the UK are going to be adopting VPNs at an incredible rate.

FLASH

⚡️🚨 ALERT - "Don't worry. It's just to protect the children. " Literally 5 days later: identity check for listening to music… How far will they go? #asknostr

They block VPNs too. So it gets difficult.

True. It's a stepping stone as people look for long time solutions.

Was discussing this with friends at the weekend! It’s so good to see a government encouraging the mass NPC population to take an interest in VPNs and internet literacy

Holy shit! That will accelerate VPN adoption. Just a reminder, you can rent an overseas virtual private server (VPS) for cheap and set up your own VPN. It won’t mix your traffic in with other users (cause you’re the only user), but it will get you out of your own country. Learn how to do this before they ban or reign in commercial VPN companies.

‘They’ don’t like how musicians and artists make the masses question the authority of the establishment. The laws of unintended consequences will come back to bite ‘them’ in the ass.
