⚡🇪🇺 NEW - EU Vice-President “suggests”restricting VPNs to prevent citizens from circumventing EU's age-restrictions of the Internet

EU Vice-President Henna Virkkunen is helping roll out a new EU age verification app. But the app can be bypassed with simple tools like a VPN

When a reporter asked how the EU will stop kids from using VPNs to get around the rules, Virkkunen said:

“It’s difficult, of course, to have the technological solutions that there’s no way to circumvent … it’s also an important part of next steps to look at [the issue] that it shouldn’t be circumvented.”
