Hello I've never posted a forum topic on here before im hoping im doing it right i live in the Uk and recently a lot of porn sites i use have been blocked like ehentai.org or rule 34 video which really sucks anyway im worried that the same might happen to e621 im hoping thats not the case because it's one of my favourite sites if anyone could get back to me and let me know I'd appreciate it.

Thank you
There's also Arizona HB 2112 which will impact e621 specifically as e621's parent company is based in Arizona.

I don't think we'll have a decade worth of time for VPN access to be honest maybe 2-3 years then that will be restricted.
Us in the UK will have to start asking Chinese people who use VPNs in China for advice.

You are half right, if even China can't block ALL VPNs...they can give you guys advice lol.
There is also a lot of jobs that needs VPN so they can't ban everything too.
honestly there are...are ridiculous amount of reasons why VPNs are here to stay so dont worry too much about that. it'd be like banning antivirus software at this point.
Not to mention VPN providers are huge lobbyists meaning they are practically protected by the government...honestly? cynic in me kinda thinks they may be partially behind these laws just to drive up their shares. but thats probably not true.

The UK is trying to weaken encryption here with Apple so I don't doubt VPNs will be a target.

I believe their confidence stems from the difficulty of actually enforcing it, not the desire; all the desire in the world ain't making shutting Tor down any more plausible.
