It seems that some websites are taking this latest implementation of the Online Safety Act seriously by either implementing age verification or geoblocking the UK, whilst others are ignoring it completely.

They too must not believe the Ofcom threats of fines, imprisonment, having their site blocked or having their business interrupted by Ofcom working with their suppliers etc or are simply not aware of these new requirements.

Ofcom have said that their preferred method of compliance is to work with website owners before using their more drastic powers, but will they work? It'll be interesting to see how this pans out.
