Australians soon engaging in wider spread adoption of VPN and tor usage.
Yeah. But the important question is where should we choose as our exit server. The UK is no good. Certain states in the US. European countries have rules. Are there any vpn servers in Africa or the Cayman Islands?
This is the real problem. As more and more countries push for laws like this I think sites will just adopt blanket age-verification for simplicity's sake instead of having to constantly keep track of which countries/states in countries require it
