@JamesBaker Everyone’s going to end up running VPNs by default. Well, the more tech-savvy anyway. Govt seemingly determined to make the UK a global irrelevance.
@pd Yes until they crack down on VPN technology like Iran, which was an actual Labour amendment to the online safety bill

@pd @JamesBaker for a crack down.
