So the UK is going to start requiring IDs to view adult content. I’m in the US, but I’ve got a friend in the UK who obviously doesn’t want to deal with this.

I suggested he use a VPN, but he’s apparently heard they sell your personal data. Can anyone recommend a reliable VPN that collects as little data as possible?

ETA: thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I’m gonna research em and pass the info along. :)

      PIA is run by a sketchy company with ties to zionists. Please do not support them.

      If you need a cheap VPN go with AirVPN or even Nord over PIA.

      Neither of us are very techy and I told him I’d look into this for him because he’s juggling 100 different things right now. I think my dumb ass relaying instructions on how to do this, to his dumb ass, would end in tears.

    It’s not just UK, but Europe-wide soon. I imagine that the various (other) -eyes countries will be joining with similar legislation.

    And then The law of unintended consequences will strike.

      Oh, goody. The internet’s gonna get a lot worse with a lot fewer voices to hear from.
