Hello ,

As the title says what happens if theUK requires age verification for VPN’s or makes it illegal to use them?

Does that mean everyone will move to tor or I2P?

It seems if the UK gov keep pushing their agenda under the guise of protecting children people will increasingly go dark .

I guess what I’m asking is how does everyone think this will unfold?

If you use Monero, it can't be traced back to original KYC sources

I don't think this is a good idea still. First - the very fact that you bought crypto can be suspicious. Second - then your anonymity depends on the assumption that Monero wouldn't have flaws found in it later, which is just not a good approach with any technology, no matter how well-regarded. And third, most mundane - introduces yet another place from where your ID can leak.

Fair points. If only acquiring it were as simple as buying a can of beans.
