It’s why it’s not gone through yet as it’s not only got massive privacy issues round it but the censorship questions as well as the massive cost ‘& technical challenges for the internet providers. All it will do is massively increase business for the vpn companies and you just bounce ur traffic via another country. Some countries already block certain sites for instance CB has to be accessed via a vpn in a lot of Eastern European countries. In the long term it’ll come down to age verification and who / how / what does it and the privacy stuff as mentioned earlier. It’ll get even more interesting with companies like apple introducing the web privacy tech that effective mask ur IP address with tech like iCloud private relay.

This Bill might fall down on data protection issues, how many people are going to feel comfortable giving sensitive information for watching adult content. We will see what happens, but it seems like a step backwards for these channels online content.
