Probably through handshake agreements. By the time any evidence comes out of them, they’ll have gotten the formal documentation backdated and approved by their legal advisors.
Does this only apply to companies with physical operations in the UK? If it applies to all internet entities, then how do they enforce it on a company from another country? If it’s only UK based businesses, then what’s the point? Kids can go to a site hosted in another country.
Also, companies can proactively block traffic coming in from the UK if they don’t feel like abiding by the rules. This generally happens when the cost to change their service to fit the law is higher that the amount they make from serving that country. It happened with GDPR.
Yeah just look at the last UK age verification law that was delayed over and over again until it was quietly scraped. Its likely Ofcom will struggle to get up and running.
