Minister Peter Kyle was on BBC Breakfast this morning, glossing over the VPN signup spike that accompanies the Online Safety Act; a key quote from the very end of the video:

“Each time you use a verification service you are keeping children safe in our country and surely that is worth the hassle?”

Because we’re at war with Porn?

Age-verifying people who are of legal age to watch porn is not actually germane to child protection. He should instead be appealing to children who circumvent age verification to turn themselves in.
