You can always place the VPN server overseas and access from there, like anyone would, using a VPN. Still, though, the UK somehow speed through to fascism faster than Australia did.
The problem comes when a company allows someone with a VPN in the UK to access a site and then it comes out that user was from the UK (from other colluding evidence). At that point, the website is stuffed legally as it allowed someone from the UK to access its website and is therefore under the eyes of Ofcom, under its jurisdiction. Everyone is playing a "don't care, not blocking VPN" until someone gets investigated and fined.
That's not how jurisdiction works. It's been a long time since Britain ruled the world. Have those island retards not noticed they don't have an empire anymore?
As far as Ofcom and the law is concerned, a website is responsible for content served to a UK citizen, regardless if that individual is using a VPN or not. The problem is, how would a website tell if a VPN user is from the UK or not? At this moment, websites are just saying "don't care" but all it will take is one investigation that finds a UK citizen viewed a website via a VPN and they're stuffed.
Now a website could tell Ofcom to jog on but then we go down the murky road that Brazil faced with X.
a website is responsible for content served to a UK citizen
Why the focus on VPNs? If that statement is accurate, then no website can detect if content is served to a UK citizen traveling abroad. Which would make even blacklisting the entire UK and all known VPNs insufficient. Which is probably the interpretation they're hoping for.
