UK Cracks Down On VPNs After 1,300% Surge | Online Safety Act Tightened | WION

Описание: The UK government is reviewing stricter age verification rules and potential restrictions on VPN usage after a massive spike in traffic followed new Online Safety Act measures. Reports show VPN use surged by more than 1,300% — in some cases up to 2,000% — after tougher age-check requirements were introduced in July 2025.

Now, the government is launching a three-month consultation to close loopholes, including possible curbs on VPNs that bypass safety filters. Proposals under review include banning under-16s from social media and enforcing advanced age-estimation technology.
