EU Moves to Ban VPNs Under 'Child Safety' Banner, Raising Censorship Fears

The European Union is advancing plans to crack down on VPNs as part of a broader digital surveillance agenda, using child protection as the stated justification while critics warn it mirrors internet control models used by authoritarian states. In biblical prophecy, a unified global authority capable of monitoring and controlling the flow of information is a prerequisite for the kind of centralised world governance described in end-times Scripture — where no one can buy, sell, or speak outside the system. Revelation 13 describes a world power that exercises control over all peoples, and the incremental dismantling of digital anonymity by a coordinated bloc of governments reflects the groundwork such a system would require.
