    I’ve been using a VPN, blockers, all sorts in the UK to disguise some of my online activity from Google and other companies so if I’m just doing the same thing to avoid the government there’s not much difference.

    The fact that I still use Google products is a lapse and due to laziness on my part…

    Of course it could be a vote winner for Starmer at the next election to say he’ll repeal it on free speech grounds of he played it right. But then the opposition could spin it as him not wanting to protect children online so he probably won’t have the guts to risk it.

      Starmer’s a big fan of this bill. He in fact proposed adding VPN’s to the list of tech.
