Using the "What about the children" defense has to end. Make parents accountable.
Kids will be the first ones to figure out how to circumvent porn-blocks. It's literally all they will spend their time on.

The traffic without a VPN goes:
Your computer > your ISP > out into the wwwilds on its way to the server holding the data for the URL, eventually returning data back to you. Your ISP can see this, obviously
I'm preeeeettysomewhat, kinda sure that with a VPN it goes:
Your computer > your ISP > the VPN servers > out into the wwwilds, and eventually back the same way.
I'm not sure if the ISP sees the original URL and such, or if it only sees a request to the VPN.
This is a long way of saying I don't know I guess :)

Can you expand on this? The article explains that the blockage would happen at the Canadian ISP level, so it wouldn't matter where in the world the sites are being hosted, or where the site owners...

How would a VPN affect this? I'm not tech savvy enough to know. Nor have I ever used a VPN before.

It should get around it. The website would see the VPNs Ip address as the location requesting the site.
