    It feels like this is a coordinated ‘long game’ to banning vpns. Kids bypass ‘safety controls’ using a vpn, therefore vpn must be banned to keep kids safe

      Would like to see how many companies function without VPN …

      Couldn’t do my job without VPN/Wireguard

        They would blacklist consumer VPN IPs and block payments to them, not prevent you from logging in to a corp network.

      It is, and the purpose is to prepare for war. In each country the excuse is different, but in all of them people are getting an everincreasing restriction on internet use. See UK for reference

    First off, I can’t believe YouTube described its content as “high-quality”, because most of it isn’t. Second off, what the hell did Google expect? They’ve been doing a piss-poor job at reviewing their content for years and even when they actually do, they don’t do it because they want to make the platform more comfortable for kids to use or anything virtuous like that, it was to make the advertisers happy. So yeah, now the governments are involved, tough shit.

    If parents won’t do it, someone has to. I have young daughters and the sexist shit that youtube keeps showing young boys has me so nervous for their futures. Youtube in my house is only accessible on the living room TV where I am fully aware of what they are watching.
