It's basically impossible to prevent people from using VPNs without some serious governmental control over every telco - which of course may be the case in the UK, but I don't think a site operator can be held liable for that in any sane way.

China's great firewall is reported to take resources the UK just couldn't muster. The UK is still at the level of storing highly classified information in Excel and sending it by email.

That's actually a feature. Whistle blowers and leaks like Snowdens are helped by these antiquated setups.

What's wrong with email? I keep seeing "email is not secure means of communication" but doesn't email use TLS?

It's one thing to not try to prevent people from circumventing the law, it's quite another to encourage them to do so.

As the website says, it's not illegal for users in the UK to circumvent the restrictions using a VPN, so they're not recommending anything illegal.

Circumvention means you're following the law after all, i.e. you're circumventing, not breaking it.

Every other Youtuber these days is thanking NordVPN for sponsoring their channel then proceeds to walk through specifically how to use it to view geoblocked Netflix content, and they (and NordVPN!) are fine.

People aren’t prevented from using VPNs in the UK, in case anyone is unclear on this.
