Everyone said I was an alarmist when I said I saw this coming over one year ago.

Apparently the requirement to block such ?rogue sites? would apply to all websites in the United Kingdom and overseas. Where websites originate in the EU the process will be ?compatible with country of origin rules?, which is interesting because some EU states are a lot less puritanical than the UK has recently become.
In terms of pornographic websites, the Government claims that the top 50 sites account for 70% of users and ?many?, including the largest free site by market share, have already agreed with the government to implement age verification. The bill also introduces a new power that forces payment services (e.g. VISA, Mastercard) to withdraw support from non-compliant sites.
