Are you suggesting that the entire population of the UK switch to using VPNs?

> So you could have 1000's of smaller bulletin boards. Once they get large enough they'd need to shut down and restart in order to not be within scope.

This will work until the moment some actual pedos run some of those small message bords and use it to groom kids and politicians will have the necessary munition to shut down those sorts of exceptions to the law.



Yes, because that's how the internet is designed to work, a VPN just routes packets to another location with the nice side effect of being able to use another IP address.

Countries have tried to enforce censorship but even places like China have gaps that are exploitable if you have the right tools and knowledge.

Everyone should be learning about how to bypass state overreach, it's an obligation of its people.
