Real talk - or what? If LemmyNSFW isn’t based in the UK, what can they do?

Block it? I’d rather have that than deal with processing users face data.

Honestly I have no idea. I guess they could just block it if they don’t comply?

  Well as a Lemmy admin I’ll see if they seriously enforce this on international sites. If not, I won’t worry about it. If so, the UK gets blocked. 🤷🤷🤷
  
  I doubt they’ll be going after Noche sites anyway. Big dogs like reddit, sure. Sites dedicated to porn probably. Everyone else? Doubt it.

Even though LemmyNSFW is outside of the UK the admins of any instance will be responsible for verification of UK users because of this law. This is why .zip (Lemmy and PieFed) have geoblocked the UK. It’s a lot of work and responsibility to take on.

Here’s the post from DemiGodrick explaining this situation better than I can.

  Yeah only if the UK can actually manage to enforce any consequences to site admins outside the UK. I’ll wait and watch.

I believe if the UK finds a site that doesn’t comply with the law, they will block it from their side of things. I haven’t read anything about websites needing to be proactive to block the UK if they don’t plan to comply.
