Not true, these new rules are specifically about porn, and in fact more specifically, image/video based porn, text porn is exempt.
It defines porn as "content of such a nature that it is reasonable to assume that it was produced solely or principally for the purpose of sexual arousal".
Further to this, it only applies if the service meets all of the following tests:
* regulated provider pornographic content is published or displayed on the service
* the service is not exempt, and
* the service has links with the United Kingdom.
The final one is quite interesting (and vague) the definition seems to be ;
* the service has a significant number of United Kingdom users, or
* United Kingdom users form one of the target markets for the service (or the only target market).
If the site is not aimed at the UK, and/or has few UK users, and doesnt have a uk domain, then its quite likely not covered.
Its all here if you get bored and want to read it.
