      You vastly underestimate the interest young people can have into things, especially into forbidden things, especially when the workaround is trivial and works with a few clics, no tech skills required.

      Will this become a new venue for scam? Most likely. But kids motivation vs. a very easy “fix” is not what’s gonna stop them. Adult surveillance would be way better.

      All it takes is one kid to work it out and it’ll be common knowledge in that school within a week.

      Doesn’t proton offer a free vpn with limits?

      Also, a vpn is pretty cheap. I wouldn’t say that it’s kids that would be using it, it would be adults who don;t want to upload their picture.

        Yes however they are literally move all their infrastructure to the UK so they won’t be an option soon.

        Windscribe is a thin too, but since they are Canadian and Canada is making stupid political deals with the US lately, it can’t be relied on either.
