You can't block porn completely without blocking VPNs. If you connect to a VPN that's all they can see.
This makes it sound like VPNs can ONLY access porn. lol
They can also access Excel spreadsheets from what I've heard. Hopefully the children aren't aware of the fact.

Stop fucking but make children.
Religious fundamentalists famously love being the only source of sexual "education".

The same teenagers that don't even use computers with physical keyboards?
I'd wager less than 1% of the minors affected by this will learn how to proxy through a VPS.
So all this does is create a black market for tech. People with the knowledge of how to set up this technology will provide it as a service for those who don't.
It's the same as trying to outright ban drugs. Those who can provide for those who cannot (for a fee).

The children's commissioner for England tells the BBC virtual private networks are a "loophole that needs closing.

This has nothing to do with porn or protecting children. It's a backdoor way to attach names and faces to VPN usage so movie and music studios can sue specific people for torrenting. They failed in bringing lawsuits previously because they couldn't pin point the piracy to specific individuals. I would bet money that the ministers leading this charge have ties to groups in the movie and music industry. The UK will be the testbed before the full rollout in the EU and then worldwide.

Hmmmmm, let me play devils advocate and say that kids should have access to porn.
If you want to actually play devil's advocate, you gotta give an argument. Otherwise, you're just being contrarian.

Ok one question: Why do we have to protect children from porn if they've already gotten exposed to it?

If I had to guess, they don't care at all about porn and are using this as a pretext to censor sites that talk about LGBTQIA+ people.
And also to block access to any sex ed content that talks about how to protect yourself from predators.

Transgender people are in the crosshairs and have been for a couple of years for now.

This is fascists using "think of the children" to violate everyone's online privacy and spy on everyone worldwide.

The irony is that despite being a confessional state, the UK is 100x more secular than the USA.

This is a lot bigger than the entertainment industry now. Creeping fascism and the trillion dollar surveillance capitalism industry are hellish bed buddies.

It makes these kids easy marks for malware.

If I had to guess, I'd say the government pushback against porn is a result of members of the ruling class catching their offspring with porn.
I'd say it has more to do with pandering to religious conservatives to keep them in their pocket.

So they have more time to watch people shooting each other.

Let me give you one, kids try to explore topics out of curiosity. They are probably not going to look up someone torturing animals, because they don't want to see that. Kids usually look up and explore things they are ready for. Also "kids" is a pretty diverse group, a 5 year old and a 15 year old kid are very different.
For real young kids parents should monitor online behavior anyway. For teens, how is life this different than looking at a playboy or a porn tape. Teens have been doing that forever, the people creating these laws probably did that when they where kids.
It's probably a lot better to let kids (teens) explore nudity and sex in a safe environment, instead of letting them go unsupervised in places that ignore the law.
It's basically the same argument with drugs, offering legal options vs. going to a dealer and possibly getting much more dangerous drugs mixed in.

My vote is smoke screen, lots of nasty stuff can fly under the radar with all this talk on porn, vpn and privacy rights

To add to it: Why do we need to protect children that arent ours from things their parents are supposed to protect them from?
Weird way to shift job tasks around.

Yup, and that's how the US got the Mafia. We banned alcohol, but people wanted to drink, so the Mafia made that happen.
All a ban does is hurt law abiding citizens and businesses.
Not all bans are bad or hurt law abiding citizens. Slavery and gambling come to mind, both still exist illegally (or, in the case of gambling, semi-legally, what with the deluge of sports betting and online casinos HQd in shitty countries), but I would say them being illegal is a net positive for society.

As someone who just read the Wikipedia article on Usenet and doesn't know anything else about it:
Would this be pretty much the equivalent of the internet before search engines? Because if so I'm really intriguedFrom my small understanding, usenet was like several forums loosely connected to one another, many servers are used mainly for filesharing. Every time I've checked some servers, all of them had a paywall to create an account.

I don't think it's a conspiracy theory if everybody already knows it.
What you said there, that was just a fact.
I know, it just bothers me how little they're trying to hide it.

Well, hold your beer because Brazil is just passing a similar law at this moment. Expect other countries to follow.
It's happening due to a big child sexualization/adultization scandal that took forever to blow up^[While instagram itself has some "moderation", they'll happily turn a blind eye to anything that could hurt engagement. 10yo girls doing extremely sexual dances with pornographic music in the background? Boost that shit, look at the engagement!!! Tiktok is equally at fault for the same reason. This shit has been going for years and predates Hytalo and Felca.]. When the deputies came up with a law that was ready and just sitting in a drawer, my mind immediately went "Oh, fuck". I still gotta read it, because it was approved recently.
