## Resource

The UK just confirmed it's doubling down on the under-16 social media ban, and VPN restrictions might be next. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans say they support social media bans for minors, and almost none of them have been told what age verification actually costs: uploading your ID to reach the same platforms that never changed. In this video I break down the UK's VPN restriction proposal, why age verification and online age gates always expand beyond kids, what Australia's under-16 ban actually accomplished, and why banning users instead of fixing exploitative platform design protects nobody. 🔗 SOURCES & LINKS • Proton VPN Kickback Link: https://go.getproton.me/SH12P • Proton VPN: https://protonvpn.com/ 🔎 RELATED VIDEOS https://youtu.be/i_B3BuRb3eQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuLdd07P1II 🧡 SUPPORT TECHLORE • Become a Techlorian: https://techlore.tech/support/#/portal/signup • All Support Methods: https://techlore.tech/support/ 🔐 MORE FROM TECHLORE • Homepage & Newsletter: https://techlore.tech/ • Our Course, Go Incognito: https://techlore.tech/go-incognito-course/ • Our Recommended Tools: https://tools.techlore.tech/ • Take Our SPA Quiz: https://quiz.techlore.tech/ • Learn more on our SPA Wiki: https://wiki.techlore.tech/ • VPN Finder: https://vpn.techlore.tech/ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 THE FIGHT CONTINUES 00:30 THE UK TEASING VPN RESTRICTIONS 03:30 MAJORITY OF US ADULTS SUPPORT THESE BANS 06:32 THE REAL (IGNORED) ISSUES THAT NEED SOLVING #VPNBan #uk #usa ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5ScjMGfIUU
