With Proton VPN downloads skyrocketing in th UK, the Online Safety Bill has lead to fears that VPNs can be banned in the country entirely. Although the ruling Labour Government has ruled out a VPN ban, Tech Secretary Peter Kyle has issued a warning to VPN users.
“Adults should get behind the aid verification system, because every time they do it, you keep a child safe.” Kyle told The Telegraph last week in a warning: "If platforms or sites signpost towards workarounds like VPNs, then that itself is a crime and will be tackled by these codes.
Corporate VPNs would still be allowed. Its like how India has it. India essentially banned all VPNs given the info they ask from VPNs for private citizens, but those rules don’t apply to corporate VPNs.
It seems unlikely to me, insofar as the government has almost certainly chosen the current approach because they have no inclination to properly invest and starting a public game of whack-a-mole would be incredibly expensive.
