Mozilla, the non-profit tech giant behind the Firefox browser and has warned regulators that age-restricting VPNs “would undermine the privacy and security of all users”.
In a formal submission to the UK’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, Mozilla pushed back against a recent consultation that considers age-gating the best VPN services to stop minors from bypassing age checks mandated by the Online Safety Act.
They already know all that.
I’m sick of this. If it’s that big of a deal, we just need to ban kids from the internet. Full stop. No intermediary measure will be good enough.
Sounds like a good idea. Now we just need a way to determine which users are kids and which are adults. I’ve got it! We can use age verification for that, and we’ll probably also need to ban vpns to stop kids from getting around it.
