The Department for Education, which proposed the bill, directed New Scientist's questions about it to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, which didn't respond.

Bug or feature?

I see peers also supported Lord Nash's amendment to prohibit provision of VPN services to kids in the UK votes.parliament.uk/votes/lords/... + bills.parliament.uk/bills/3909/s...

Completely unworkable but that would be Ofcom's problem I guess?

Screenshot of proposed amendment, with explanatory statement as follows: "This new clause would require the Secretary of State to take action to promote and protect children's wellbeing, and to further support child protective measures in the Online Safety Act, by prohibiting the provision to children in the United Kingdom of VPN services which can facilitate evasion of OSA age-gating processes."

The #CWSBill amendment, which hasn't been debated yet, is sponsored by Lord Nash, Baroness Cass, and Baroness Benjamin – the same peers behind the proposal to prohibit provision of VPN services to UK children bills.parliament.uk/bills/3909/s...

The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill: An Attack on Home Education and Parental Rights - the PRSD Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill is an attack on home education, but it also erodes the rights of all parents and children

As a #neurodivergent young person I thrived in #homeeducation. The future of #homeed is being threatened by the #CWSBill, which sets to implement tighter restrictions on freedoms to #homeeducate, with greater powers wielded by local authorities & ministers which overstep acceptable boundaries (1/3)
