As I already posted in the original post, this is not true.

The European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS) has warned that virtual private networks (VPNs) are increasingly being used to bypass online age-verification systems, describing the trend as “a loophole in the legislation that needs closing.”

So first the EPRS, not "the EU".

Then they do not blanket warns against all and every VPN or anything.

This is so misleading.

Need to get my ham radio antenna set up. Dunno how much longer this internet thing's going to be anything but a work requirement.
