+
+First, it was age checks for websites. Now, UK MPs are turning their sights on
+VPNs.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+**The argument:** The UK's new Online Safety Act requires strict age
+verification to access certain content. But VPNs easily let users (including
+teenagers) bypass these checks by pretending to be in a different country.
+🌍➡️🇬🇧
+
+Now, some MPs want regulators to pressure app stores (like Apple and Google) to
+stop children from downloading VPNs entirely, arguing they "undermine" safety
+laws.
+
+VPN providers are fighting back, arguing their tools are essential for basic
+online privacy and security, not just dodging rules. 🛡️
+
+**The Debate:** Is restricting VPNs a necessary step to protect kids, or a
+dangerous blow to digital privacy for everyone?

+The UK government is pushing Apple and Google to install system-level "nudity
+blockers" on all phones. The idea is that your OS would scan for explicit
+content and hide it unless you verify you are an adult.
+
+Supporters say it’s a crucial step to keep children safe online. Critics are
+calling it "spyware" and a massive overreach into personal privacy. 🧐
