So you're implying alcohol and cigarettes should be sold to children?

(Not to mention all the other consent age laws.)

That said, VPN is a national security issue, children are only a pretext.

Children have always found ways to access age restricted consumables. Whether that was porno mags, alcohol or cigarettes.

They’d just get an older sibling, or stranger to buy it. Or they’d have a fake ID. Or they’d just steal it from a family member.

But you know which kids did this the least? It was the ones where their parents / guardians took their responsibilities as a guardian properly.

What does national security even mean anymore? People are using this term for basically everything these days, as if saying "national security" is somehow a justification on its own.

What "national security" implications are there with VPNs?
