The Majority Report with Sam Seder · 3686 - Why Big Tech Wants Age Verification; SCOTUS Corruption w/ Caitlin Vogus, Alex Aronson · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

And as they have passed those bills, what we've seen is that people in those states have turned to VPNs.

because they don't want to turn over their private information to tech companies.

And so they use a VPN to try to get around it.

But now lawmakers are taking notice of that, and they're actually trying to maybe potentially ban VPNs.

So recently, Utah became one of the first states to propose banning VPN usage in certain situations to try to crack down on this getting around of age verification.

But that's a huge can of worms to open because VPNs do a lot more than just help people evade censorship and age verification.

They also help people keep themselves safe online, keep their browsing private.

And so we're really headed down, I'd say, a slippery path where you start cracking down on the platforms.

Lawmaker CEO, that's not working as well as we hope.

Now we're going to crack down on VPNs.

And what's next?

I mean, more and more content could be banned and censored.

So it's very concerning.

Well, I think one thing that Congress could do that would protect not only children, but all of us, would be to pass comprehensive privacy legislation that governs online services.

And what I mean by that is targeting the tech platform's collection of people's data that they then use to run their behavioral ad systems.

engine that's powering all of this tech platforms are sucking in people's data and then using it to target advertisement and that is going a long way towards the harms that we're seeing kids but everybody online encounter so instead of requiring platforms to collect more data to verify users ages instead what i think congress should be doing is cracking down on data collection through comprehensive privacy legislation that covers everyone children and adults alike

Right, exactly.

And not just kids, but all of us.

None of us would be targeted with this terrible content.

So, yes, it would go a long way to protecting kids and adults.
