    Most kids are not going to pay a subscription for a VPN, I don’t think that would be as big of an issue as you think.

      Well unless they go for free vpns and get data mined to the moon and back… Which is a far worse outcome imo.

          Well they have to host the servers and pay for them somehow… So they take all of your traffic going through their servers and sell it. They know when you go to any website, at what time, and how long you were there… That’s why anyone recommending a VPN strongly recommends vpns that do not keep logs of what their clients do when connected to their servers. Even some paid vpns double dip and keep logs and sell them as well as charging for access.

        There are free VPNs that are subsidized by payers and are legit (though most are not). Calyx and Proton to name two.

        Also Tor is free, and the most popular site on the darknet is Facebook, so I dont think you’re informed about the nature of Tor traffic.
