If Ofcom carries out its threat, this site, Rumble and other sites outside of the UK will have to geoblock the UK, like what Rumble had to do with France.
What is likely to be different in the UK's perspective is the future for VPN's. Labour tried and failed to make VPN's illegal in the Online Safety Act. Labour are now in power and have the numbers to make it finally happen (at least for residential use).
The principled stand, IMO, would be to tell the country's that if THEY want to keep their citizens ignorant of the truth, then THEY need to do it themselves.
No offshoring evil.
Like what the Canadian gov. did. Tell sites they have to pay a fee to show stuff to Canadians.. so FB and others limit content to CDN's, and the government gets to exclaim that the tech giants are to blame!! Wouldn't work on retarded hamsters, alas, Canadians were unable to see through it..

I don't understand why they have to geoblock the UK. Tell the UK to piss off and make the government block them.
I guess it's easier for the company involved to make a principled stand. Like what Rumble did in France.
