The European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS) has warned that virtual private networks (VPNs) are increasingly being used to bypass online age-verification systems, describing the trend as “a loophole in the legislation that needs closing.”

So a warning about just that. So the EU did not and neither did EPRS warn, they did in fact not call VPNs a loophole that needs closing, which would include any VPN.

That said, watch out for slippery slopes!
