Luckily VPNs haven't been invented.
X Safety have posted that they have now made some changes to operate within the law.
This includes "geoblocking the ability of all users to generate images of real people in bikinis, underwear, and similar attire via the Grok account and in Grok in X in those jurisdictions where it’s illegal".

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Any age verification bill being pitched on “protecting kids” that aims to block VPNs is just admitting that this was never about protecting kids to begin with. As if they’re the ones installing/using VPNs, shut the fuck up

Dear U.K. Labour. The fact that VPNs can easily bypass large parts of the Online Safety Act is *not* a reason to ban VPNs. It’s a reason to rethink the Online Safety Act.
