Again define what is an Adult site, who decides which site would be adult and which would not, who ever that is has a lot of sites to look at and determine if it is adult or not. If it is the site owner who would check they have designated the site correctly
Would you for instance class the BBC news website as adult, would you class Cable forum as adult or child safe.
What about sites that are hosted in country's that do not conform to the rules that are laid down. Do you then ask the ISP's to block those sites however remember that can be circumnavigated by using a simple free VPN and many of those are based in country's that do not have to follow the Online Safety Bill rules.

Here is another question

If North Korea attempted to fine the BBC for allowing it's citizens to visit the BBC website - do you think the BBC would pay?
The only option will be to block it in the UK (which won't stop VPN users).

I honestly think this will lead to yet more data gathering via age checking. However even the age checking is easily circumnavigated by anyone with a little knowledge.
