A VPN/Social Media ban for children in the UK is in the works, but what these bans are really about isn't protecting children.

They want to ID everyone on the internet all the time, so they can watch everything you do, and ban piracy so billionaires don't lose any money.

Once such a ban is implemented across the world it will be impossible to access any sites without being ID'd and all the websites and apps worldwide that don't comply will be banned.

The internet will be gone replaced with billionaires online shops.

I want to point out something about 'blocking the sun' instead of simply stopping burning fossil fuels.

1. It will be very expensive.
2. The Earth isn't getting more sunlight, just less heat is leaving, so cutting sunlight just creates another problem.

Too little sunlight.
