The reality is the vast majority of users will just not submit their ID and the large companies will lose most of their UK traffic.
There was a study by Amazon [1] that showed that every 100ms of extra load time of a page cost 1% of revenue. How much revenue do you think adding an ID verification that takes 10 minutes to complete cost???
You think PornHub loves this law???
