No, it's not age verification — privacy is the top reason UK children use a VPN

Recent research commissioned by the UK Government reveals that privacy, not age verification, is the primary reason British children use VPNs. Surprisingly, only 7 to 10% of kids employ a VPN to avoid age checks, highlighting a different concern. This suggests that kids are increasingly aware of and prioritizing their online privacy over accessing restricted content. It's a wake-up call for parents and policymakers to understand and address the digital privacy needs of young users.
