This is probably fantastic news for the VPN providers. Lots of people who otherwise wouldn't have bothered are now likely incorporating VPN connectivity into their daily routine. This very obviously includes kids.

I also wouldn't be surprised if there were plenty of people only dimly aware of the idea of a VPN who are now sitting up and taking note.

VPNs only work while there are jurisdictions that don't have age verification laws and services don't ban access from those jurisdictions.

And kids will do very stupid things to get "free" VPN access.

Such as following directions from a YouTube video that instructs them to do sketchy things.

I mean, how much longer do you think VPNs will remain legal in the US?
