So, buy stock in VPNs?

Or in anti-porn and anti-vpn startups. If you suggest teenagers will buy VPNs and we should monetize that, it should set some alarms to question your ethos.

I think plenty of legal adults have zero interest in having a link tied to their porn consumption. The never ending stream of data leakage announcements should make it clear that if the data is collected, you have to assume it will become public. VPN at least puts a layer of indirection on that.

Agreed. As an adult, I would use a VPN to bypass ID requirements to preserve my privacy.

Which they're fully aware of. They will eventually at some point pass a law requiring you to identify yourself to the VPN and/or government.

This decision is ultimately about the end of the last vestiges of anonymity on the internet, unfortunately.
