France becomes the latest country to float severe VPN restrictions in order to "fix" a bad age-verification law.

This is a problem and it will get worse as more of these bans kick in. For many kids and even adults, actually getting out to socialize isn't easy to do for various reasons. Social media has allowed for a lot of people to connect and develop good friendships, that they wouldn't have had otherwise.
