You vastly underestimate the interest young people can have into things, especially into forbidden things, especially when the workaround is trivial and works with a few clics, no tech skills required.
Will this become a new venue for scam? Most likely. But kids motivation vs. a very easy “fix” is not what’s gonna stop them. Adult surveillance would be way better.
Depends on what you mean by “kids”. Elementary schoolers, no, but some teens are willing to do a surprising amount of work to accomplish something if it’s important enough to them. And then they pass their method along to their friends, or offer to set up anyone in the school for the price of a couple of bags of snack food.
lol I’m just joking that teens in high school would probably trade weed for things rather than snacks. I’m not proud of it, but I got paid in weed junior year of high school for customizing MySpace accounts, which is why I laughed at “snacks” because if they are later age high school students they probably aren’t trading in sour cream and onion.
You can
But most people will not go to those lengths, esp not kids.

Exactly, I’d argue kids are the most likely to go to lengths to circumvent the rules
All it takes is one kid to work it out and it’ll be common knowledge in that school within a week.

Need the munchies for after puffing whatever they put in their vapes.

I’m not sure whether the readership for this article is primarily British (“crisps”) or primarily North American (“chips”), so I compromised. 🤷

I admit, my information on what teens use for barter is even more out-of-date than yours (by about a decade, based on when MySpace was popular).
Haha all good, I wasn’t criticizing, snacks just made me laugh. Teens have probably been bartering weed and alcohol in high school since the 70s.
Doesn’t proton offer a free vpn with limits?
Also, a vpn is pretty cheap. I wouldn’t say that it’s kids that would be using it, it would be adults who don;t want to upload their picture.
Yes however they are literally move all their infrastructure to the UK so they won’t be an option soon.
Windscribe is a thin too, but since they are Canadian and Canada is making stupid political deals with the US lately, it can’t be relied on either.
Yeah it’s pretty good, you just can’t torrent with the free tier and sometimes it’s slow because a lot of people are using it.
But it’s very useful for the short time I use it.
