Iv got a feeling the government will make money through this one way or another

This is my biggest issue with the whole thing, there is NO information coming out from either the regulator (The BBFC) or the UK Govt (Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport) despite it being just a few months away.
No-one knows exactly what is allowed on a 'free area' of a website before being verified.
There are currently no approved AV systems.
I would encourage anyone to contact them asking for information:
[email protected]
[email protected]
I've now emailed both of them three times (and had auto replies back so they are getting my emails) but have heard
nothing back from them.
This leads me to think:
A: They have no actual clue about what is going on and how it'll be enforced.
B: Mindgeek have taken full control and will run things shifting any possible blame away from the Govt/BBFC when hacking and privacy issues come into play (and they will!).
C: It won't come into force on the specified date.
D: They have bigger things such as Brexit to concentrate on.
