    Strange title. Big tech lost huge on this. They want to advertise to your kids. These bans make sense to protect the vulnerable.

        How would a VPN help at all if you still need an ID?

        And maybe I’m wrong but I find it hard to believe that kids will purchase black market accounts for this. Aren’t the IDs verified by a gov database? Anyone selling the account would be legally responsible for it and identifiable.

        This is different from pirating stuff where no IDs are involved.

          They’d sell accounts with other people’s ID? Those will inevitably get leaked. So for example your ID will get leaked and used and you’ll be the one to face the consequences. This is not new at all.

          The VPN works because you can use the service in another country that doesn’t require digital ID.
