Mozilla, the non-profit tech giant behind the Firefox browser and has warned regulators that age-restricting VPNs “would undermine the privacy and security of all users”.
In a formal submission to the UK’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, Mozilla pushed back against a recent consultation that considers age-gating the best VPN services to stop minors from bypassing age checks mandated by the Online Safety Act.
How do you propose to enforce such an idea? Some sort of… birthday testimony? Some sort of… oneness corroboration?
The parents have the responsibility of enforcing it and that’s it, that’s enough.
If you want to add laws to say that parents that fail to keep their kids off the internet can lose their kids, fine idgaf. Create whatever you want to hold parents accountable but as parents, this is THEIR problem.
How do we enforce such an idea? I don’t know, maybe, we can create some kind of “parental control” software, and if parents don’t use it, then we can pass something called “child neglect” laws and punish them with that?
