These services do not store your data, they’re just trying to determine your age. Why does that concern you?
“Don’t worry, they don’t store your data” is the same line we’ve heard countless times before — right up until the inevitable breach. The Tea app said the same thing, and still leaked user information. It will happen again, because in systems like this it’s not a question of if, it’s a question of when.
And why should you have to hand over your ID to a third-party service, possibly overseas, just to prove you’re allowed to browse the internet? That’s not safety — it’s a mass privacy intrusion disguised as protection.
Peter Kyle said, “if you want to overturn the Online Safety Act you are on the side of predators”, and "each time you use a verification service you are keeping children safe in our country and surely that is worth the hassle?"
Framing opposition to the Online Safety Act as being “on the side of predators” is a dishonest and manipulative tactic. Criticism of the Act is not about rejecting child safety — it’s about recognising that its implementation is fundamentally flawed.
Age verification does little to stop bad actors, who can bypass it with fake or stolen IDs, but it forces millions of legitimate users to hand over personal identification, creating unnecessary privacy and security risks. It’s ineffective at catching those it targets while intruding on the rights of everyone else — a poor trade-off that offers politicians headlines, not genuine child protection.
But, as Peter Kyle said, “if people like Jimmy Savile were alive today he would be perpetrating his crimes online.”
Saville didn’t need the internet or a VPN to gain access to children, another three-letter abbreviation did that for him.
Would The Great British VPN keep logs of my activity?
Absolutely — but don’t worry, we promise they’re safe… just like everyone else does before the breach.
