Mozilla to UK regulators: VPNs are essential privacy and security tools
Mozilla has submitted feedback to the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology opposing proposals to age-gate VPNs as part of an Online Safety Act-related online safety consultation. The organization argues VPNs are essential privacy and security tools for all users—including young people—and that restricting access would undermine fundamental rights instead of addressing root causes of online harm, recommending holding platforms accountable, promoting parental controls, and investing in digital skills instead.
