I think people are misunderstanding the purpose of this law and how it will be rolled out in reality. I work for a company which handles hundreds of websites hosted in the UK (some are household names), and I have a lot of connections in the industry. Nobody I speak to is even aware that this law is going into effect. That is intentional.
The purpose of this law is not to make every website that operates in the UK implement age verification, it's to ensure that EVERY website and EVERY company is in violation of this law by default. It's a political gambit which they can invoke at any point in the future to persecute any organisation that the British state takes a disliking to. Classic authoritarianism. As Beria said, "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime."
Exactly this. A legislative framework regulating entire industries is always like this. It's designed to be impossible to comply with and still operate your business. Just like anti-corruption laws that everyone breaks, but only Eric Adams or Marine Le Pen are prosecuted for: it's not meant to be universally enforced: it's there to persecute the regime's political enemies.
This may end up only affecting non US services since it seems conditions for a trade deal is this shit not affecting THEIR companies.
So yeah, this may just end up scuttling any form of Internet entrepreneurship in the UK only which seems on brand, the UK government seems to LOVE killing home grown businesses.
That's the UK public assuming it'll not be affecting them (which is naive) or that'll be so grossly mismanaged that it'll be completely ineffective (that is actually solid reasoning given history)
I'm more focusing on a direct confrontation with the US who is VERY happy to tariff the fuck out of the UK if they try to assert authority over their companies.
The Kiwifarms got an Offcom letter that they weren't in compliance about a month ago.
Josh Moon responded in somewhat meme form by blocking all UK IPs from accessing his site. It was probably easier because Null has an innate disdain for anything Bong.
The farms obviously isn't for normies, but it is an example of censorship against political enemies and the hamfisted way it was implemented.
This is going to be a enormous shit show. If it even works as intended to begin with. I imagine there's provisions so businesses and banking etc aren't affected and I guarantee they will be.
If you're a us based company, relocate your servers to the usa, then ignore any bitch fits that come from the UK as they won't be able to do shit to you, just like china and its firewall. UK is just doing the same thing.

These child safety campaigners can't sell the babies in their care fast enough these days.
They have Keir and his advertising outlet (The BBC) working as best they can but these rape babies just keep on coming by the boatload.

Edit: Found the tweet
The UK today is no different from Somalia under Al-Shabab. Why is the ranting of their deranged policymakers even considered?
Because no one has any guns to tell the cops to fuck off a gunpoint when they come calling.
The US should start airdropping liberator pistols to white areas of Britain, and foment an insurgency.
I meant that regarding US individuals. To my surprise, even Torba bowed out.

I for one welcome an internet free of stupid fucking britcuck opinions
Misandry is just stochastic transmisogyny,
Brits need to start channeling their ancestors.

Nice knowing you UK.
Nineteen Eighty Four.
Bet they'll reference Thatcher as a hero for this one. No, I'm lying, they will say she was evil anyway
