Capitalism was a failed experiment that should have ended in the 1920s but it served certain people well to keep it going, so they popped it up, rather than letting it die. So now we have this stupid hybrid system where it's capitalism, but only until capitalism fails. Then suddenly it's socialism time, but only for businesses, until they feel like they can cope again.

Most of the people who use VPNs use them for work as well. It would be an impossible task to craft a law in such a way that didn't ban VPNs for business use, but did for private use, other than to just come out and say that.

That's for backups. You wouldn't have it as the only storage method because it's so inconvenient to get the data.

Well you have to keep old emails for at least a few years for GDPR reasons. Frankly it's all nonsense anyway, data storage does not require cooling or active power so you can keep as much as you want without worrying about the environmental impact because there is essentially zero environmental impact.

All the other advice on there is good but whoever wrote that section is an idiot.

Atoms are atoms. All they are doing here is artificially creating fat molecules rather than getting them from the environment so the decomposing time is not affected.

This is all theatre. They know they have no legitimate reason to ban VPNs. Their justification for all of this is protect the children if they start banning VPNs they're going to start getting asked some incredibly awkward questions about how that's going to work.
