    Unenforcible Law.

    Gotta require ID verifications and ban all VPNs in order to actually be enforcible.

    Surely, the website owners would never sell your information, right? Right?

      Banning the Three Letter Word is unenforceable too. If you ban Open*** and Wireguard - too bad, China has done that and people developed obfuscation methods. Even if you try to ban talking about them, they won’t go extinct. If there’s a supply, there’s a demand.

      Gotta require ID verifications

      that’s exactly what they are “evaluating” now along with “biometric (age and voice) estimation”.

      government, politicians and media are constructing a parallel reality for themselves.

      The ID verification is the purpose. Keeping minors off is a smokescreen, tracking every citizen on social media is the real reason for this law.
