Interestingly, according to the article, the biggest effect is in 15-19 year olds; which are the people the law is intended to bar from accessing porn. Granted, I have no idea how good the underlying study that article is based off of is.
The ones that most definetely know how to use a vpn...
It's gonna be the boomer politicians that are big mad and can't figure out a work around.
There are plenty of 15-19 year olds who are good with computers, but also plenty who aren't
The goal post for what "being good at computers" has moved quite a bit, stuff that was distinctly only known to the nerds and geeks is now common knowledge to the younger generations, just from what I've seen of my younger relatives compared to my geekyness growing up lol.
What types of stuff do you mean?
VPNs was a good one, I have definitely heard from my younger siblings/cousins they're familiar or use them at school.
I remember being a select few at my school who knew how to use proxies to get to game sites on school PCS, I even made a little free hosted website for linking to proxies/unblocked game sites for my friends. (that eventually got blocked too, funny enough certain link shortners still worked for a bit since they seemingly blocked by Url)
I'll try to think of other examples, just something I had noticed talking to younger family members.
I think it's moreso just that it's easier to do then it used to be.
