They must have put some effort into block lists for VPN servers. Even if it works for some of us, it’s not worth it.

    You’ve failed to understand the problem entirely… the entire internet asks users to confirm they are above a certain age when creating accounts… and that happened because the USA demanded it. There’s nothing authoritarian about it… it’s a simple ‘Are you over 13yrs of age’ and you tick yes… that was it.

      Funny how it doesn’t seem to be a problem in any other country.
