This reads like the most blatant attempt yet to strip away our freedoms in the name of mass surveillance! If you wanted to use a VPN to bypass age verification in the EU, you wouldn't use an EU VPN in the first place!
They can't ban non-EU VPNs without setting up a Great Firewall of Europe, but maybe that is the goal now? Looking at Spain blocking all of Cloudflare doing football games, it definitely sets a dark precedent.
