The law is "extra-territorial" so effects any site with UK users regardless of where it is based.

Whether or not the owner is worried about following it is of course a different matter.

I think the majority of sites will be hoping they fly under the radar, but it only takes one upset person to complain to Ofcom and then they will be aware of it - I suspect if the site has evidence of risk assessment documentation and a complaints process in place Ofcom will initially go easy on them, but if there is no evidence of that and the site is not UK based, they might well just order UK ISPs to block access to it....only time will tell.

If that applies to site such as RTG and probably more than 99% of other sites, then it just goes to show how mad modern society is. I mean this is not Onlyfans and I presume there are worse sites out there.

Normally I'd say to forget it. But, these are crazy days.

So nice to see a lot forums closing from today. How will the over 60s cope without this??
A lot today say unable to visit due to new laws especially on Facebook and about time it's 2025 not 1995 anymore.

He reminds me of a Beautiful South classic ; Good as gold but stupid as mud , He'll carry on regardless. The knowledgeable and experienced Over 60 gang will plough on as before and continue to share their words of wisdom. Tomorrow morning I'll say a prayer for lamme in the hope he sees the light
