Do you think the UK government even considered that? Do you think the Tories, who passed this law, or labour, who are full-throatedly supporting this law, even considered this?

They didn't even consider vpns. We literally have a member of the House of lords talking about VPNs as if they were some obscure technology. She literally said "Have your heard of VPN", one referring to it as if it was some sort of singular service.

It’s more than that. They argue that the whole network that we call the Internet was invented and is currently maintained by America (and they are not wrong), that other nations failed to invent and deploy competitive solutions and UK trying to enforce some rulings on an American network is absurd.
