Leaving When FA Starts IDing Me

It's this simple. When (inevitably) the Age Verification and Digital ID laws are implemented in my area (or this site starts asking everybody for ID regardless), then I am dropping out of any and all sites where my account has pronz on it.
Some might be like "lol just use a VPN lol" First, if the site starts carding everybody globally, that won't make a difference. Second, I'd need to know what region I could safely set my VPN to for pronz. Thirdly, VPNs may either be banned globally or start forcing you to give THEM your ID, thereby defeating the purpose of VPNs as far as I'm aware.
At the very least, once these laws are implemented and people are sufficiently pissed off by them, maybe the people will FINALLY take action & get the laws repealed. (Just like prohibition, as this is similar in a lot of ways.) But until it's safe again, I'll have to quit pronz cold turkey.
I'll still be on Youtube. (Channel "2BITGaming." There are multiple 2BITGaming channels; Mine is the one with the familiar blue fox icon.) I MAY also use DeviantArt. (Account "TheGreatGator", also featuring the same blue fox icon.) DA is my sfw account, so even though pronz is on the site, I'd have more deniability there.
I will vanish from IB, FA and Discord. My accounts may still be there, I will simply not present any ID to access them, thus being unable to access them, likely.
I don't know when I'll be forced to leave, and I'll keep operating as normal until the day comes.
If you have any suggestions as far as VPN settings (and/or a VPN software that may remain safe to use even as laws go global), it might help keep me online. I'm not tech savvy enough to figure these things out myself. And my life's gonna be tough enough without pronz being tied to my ID and put on my permanent record. (For all I know that's already the case, but I'd still rather be safe than sorry.)

i dont think your the only one thinking that. we have seen the systems get hacked already i dont blame you for this and im a bit of the same way. ill just drop whatever demands my ID.
But yeah, we're on the same page here. Scary times we live in. No such thing as too careful.
... and it has become readily apparent that privacy is now becoming fail-deadly instead of fail-safe. That is, unless you want a world where mass murder is a law enforcement tool.
