I'm curious how they intend to enforce this on companies that aren't located in the UK.
Just wait until the UK turns into a big white blob on the internet due to getting geoblocked by about anyone.
Cyber-Brexit. GG UK.
If they make money in the UK, they can be fined in the UK .
If it's up to the ICO it'll be a laugh. Those guys are useless.
Apparently Ofcom are the regulatory body here.
Or if it's not a company at all, like a random one-person XMPP server located on a VPS outside of the UK.
