    It’s bullshit.

    Yes, you are right, it is.
    (although the “children can’t buy internet” argument that turns up every time this topics are discussed, is also bullshit).

    it’s identity verification

    Yep, totally. End of anonymous use of the internet is the wet dream of some (primarily conservative) politicians.

    But this has not been the point of my comment.
    Rather that distributing fake news (“want to ban VPNs”) doesn’t magically become the right thing to do because the cause is a righteous one.
