this will prolly end as well as brexit.. and just as well thought out
Yeah just look at the last UK age verification law that was delayed over and over again until it was quietly scraped. Its likely Ofcom will struggle to get up and running.
This is what I'm banking on - I suspect it'll be like all the other times the UK government tried to break the internet, nothing will actually happen.
