We need to see where the Online Safety Bill goes, due up for the third reading in the Lords in early September but it's looking likely that Government ID verification to abolish anonymity for all websites accessible in the UK and a ban on VPN's for residential use (and likely Tor too) to close that loophole is going to be pushed through in amendments.
Whether they get that far, we'll have to see but Labour, likely to win the next election, have said they would ban VPNs if in power so if it doesn't happen now, you've got a couple of years before they're likely to be banned.
