Whether or not these laws are actually effective at protecting children is unclear; the use of virtual private networks (VPNs) in the UK spiked just after its age-verification law went into effect as users deployed the tech to spoof their location.

They're not effective, never have been. The real way to keep kids safe is to educate the parents and pay them enough to not have to work so much that they have no time to be with kids.

They wont be effective. If Id had asked my parents to use their ID to sign up for something, they totally would have - without understanding what it is. They trusted me & didnt care what I read.
