Something seems odd to me. Usually to use a reputable VPN you need to pay. The free ones, which I think kids would use, have more issues to worry about than porn :) In order for a kid to pay, I think some adult will see the charge some where on one of their statements. So the adult could take action.
So, couldn't the UK just ban free VPNs ?
From what I found in UK banks will let 16 year olds to open an account independently.
You could also mail cash (Mullvad), buy a VPN gift card in a physical store or online or get something like a prepaid Visa/Mastercard or a paysafecard.
Even if that is not an option, it's not like age restrictions have prevented everyone underage from alcohol or smoking, people will find a some shady VPN provider or a friend to buy them one.
And also, the transaction can have a very useless business name.
Now I still have the button to list rooms outside of any "Space" but now instead of a DM button I have "Home" which mixes both DMs and rooms outside of any "Space" so I need to click on that and then the "People" filter (which doesn't save so I can't just click it once and be done) to get rid off the rooms that I already have a dedicated button for.
You sure succeeded in removing duplication. Two buttons that did two different things caused so much duplication!
Now I will have to create a "Space" to add those "space-less" rooms so that they don't show up in Home.
Oh and on upgrade I had no button to view DMs at all as I disabled "Home" before but you didn't force re-enable it for people upgrading.

EDIT: Also the filters hide under another button when your sidebar is too small and if you expand it then it can take up even 6 lines.
EDIT: And now also noticed that favourites don't stay at the top, truly useless, thanks.
EDIT: Why is room sorting method global now… I used to have spaces with different sorting… the location of the button to change the sorting hasn't even changed so it still feels like if it was local to the space. Good UX.
EDIT: Since I ended up complaining so much, might as well say that the sidebar having the same colour as the chat panel is pretty ugly and makes the whole application blend in more when the chat should be the main focus. Also expanding the spaces is still terrible as it expands the space part of the sidebar and it is annoying to have to toggle the sidebar back, I don't want the sidebar to take 1/3 of my screen.
