Rome wasn't built in a day.

Proton have already gotten a 2000% increase in VPN customers following the Online Safety Act being passed,[1] and we haven't even gotten to the point of Ofcom heavily enforcing this yet. It hasn't even been a month. Governments haven't gotten to see how ineffective their enforcement will be yet, since barely any time has passed.
