That’s always the problem with escalation wars on this sort of thing.
Incidentally, I saw reports today about the fallout of the regulation in EU press. One highlighted as a success of the measure that traffic to the top porn sites from the UK had dropped by about half (which shouldn’t have been the case if only underage users were blocked anyway). It proceeded to flag all the EU countries prepping similar regulation.
In their defense they also reported further down the article that VPN usage had skyrocketed and traffic to smaller, less safe sites that had just ignored the regulation had gone up a lot as well. I’m sure that’s unrelated, though.
