Hello ,

As the title says what happens if theUK requires age verification for VPN’s or makes it illegal to use them?

Does that mean everyone will move to tor or I2P?

It seems if the UK gov keep pushing their agenda under the guise of protecting children people will increasingly go dark .

I guess what I’m asking is how does everyone think this will unfold?

    I2P is brilliant, yes, but I can’t use it for clearnet sites.

    Besides, in this case I would be using it purely for tunneling without detection by my ISP. Anonymity would be more of a bonus.

      I feel like people like you and me end up helping people who actually need anonymity - by creating a larger crowd :)

      I2P certainly is not the clearnet, but if they continue to contaminate the clearnet with massive surveillance, there are not much more alternatives if you don’t want to go back to communicate with Finger commands like in the 70th (still works, see also this)
