Why do you want people punished for saying things?
I guess maybe this was sarcasm. If so, carry on good sir.

I am not the OP, but I interpreted them as suggesting this serves as a good form of censorship while advertised as improving child safety.

Rather, they are saying governments want to control the narrative and anonymous speech impedes that.

It’s for the kids…

The money quote is that it's not at all clear whether the sudden VPN usage is from kids or from adults to (I think rightfully) don't want to hand over their government id or their CC to random websites.
Because yeah, fuck that shit. The presumption should be that all content on the internet is for adults. If you want your site to be child friendly you should opt into a higher standard of moderation.

Lawmakers making laws about technical matters don't realize that they don't understand those technical matters well enough to make intelligent laws about them.
Shocking! Unprecedented! Film at 11!

This honestly so pathetic, you have to consider that bongs arent even people anymore.

VPNs were the target from the beginning. Whenever a politician says "think of the children," it's the beginning of the wedge strategy.
It’s hard to control the narrative when people can say what they want on the internet, anonymously, without being punished for it.
