I mean hypothetically, I setup a site ’nicekiddyfriendlystuff.com’, having only educational items and then decide six months later, that it’s not making me any money and decide to host hard-core porn on it. What happens then?
Does each ’safe site’ have to be checked every, let’s say, every week?
No I'm sorry, but it is actually a massive, massive technical problem.

Indeed. Things are not always as easy or as black & white as people think.
Interestingly, it was on this morning's 'Morning Live' programme that, since last January in order to comply with the Online Safety Act, iPhone users are having to upload a copy of their credit card or driving licence to prove that they are over 18. I'm not allowed to drive, do driving licences have dates of births on them? If not a driving licence holder may only be 17!
