I’m VPN’ing outa here 🤷♂️
Vpns rely on encryption, which this bill will undermine.
Only if the VPN provider follows the advice in the bill. I imagine there will be a lot of VPN providers that won’t give a sh!t what the U.K. government say.
I think companies like Proton & Mullvad will stand their ground.
