I'm sure their chums in China and Russia will have some tips as to how to go about it.
North Korea could be a good partner too.

There's no such thing as a VPN ban unless the government wants to go as far as strong-arming banks, credit card companies, PayPal - all payment services essentially - into making purchases of proscribed Internet services verboten to UK residents.

But then there are free and ad-supported services, how would you ban them? Traffic analysis would have to be done by all ISPs to look for... what exactly? Encrypted network traffic?! While not impossible, it's a non-trivial exercise to decrypt and analyse end-to-end encrypted data, in real time I might add.

The government (not just this government but all previous governments of the last few decades) are so thick they'd propose banning all network encryption - nothing to hide, nothing to fear - and say it with a straight face.

Even so, they wouldn't be able to spell let alone understand steganography

It never was and never will be about saving the children or they wouldn't import paedo rapists en masse.

Crush all dissent. This is about control.

A petition to repeal it is online:

Although it'll need Reform to get in to actually do something.

Peter Kyle says Nigel Farage is on side of ‘people like Jimmy Savile’ in online safety row

The year is 2030, BCF is still running but now all threads devolve by invoking Jimmy Savile on the third page instead of Adolf Hitler
