  It does not affect anyone else viewing from outside the UK. Technically, they could detect someone's location from their I.P. Address and present them with a logon option or not depending on where they are viewing from.

  It seems incredibly arrogant that the UK government can force websites across the world to introduce these extra costs, whether they can afford it or not. Any sites that refuse to comply are in danger of being fined, with failure to pay meaning that they are cut off from the UK market, as ISPs in the UK will be forced to block the sites concerned. So indirectly, this could lead to censorship for UK viewers with some foreign websites deciding their best option is to forget the UK market completely.

  I think its highly likely that we will see exactly that GrandDuke. Why go through the hassle to tailor your global site and service to one country's prudish laws. 
  
  They basically got it passed because media didn't want to talk about it and even if they did everyone is to afraid to be labelled a 'porn watcher' to speak up. God forbid.

  Yes they say that the act is not about censorship but about restriction of access to porn for minors. That may be the case but the by product I fear will be indeed be just that. The UK can then join China, that paragon of freedoms, by having a global internet censored by government intervention.
  
  Talk about pot calling kettles black.

  It is entirely about censorship, just in regards to pornographic content this is the final step on a long road. Remember when they banned certain types of porn for the UK already, aggressive bdsm etc.
  
  It is totally about censorship.
  
  Theresa May and her government have been scared of the internet from the start and everything they say about it is always about restricting content on it in some way.

  This is just another step on the ladder of political correctness. Remember the Benny Hill show which in its heyday was broadcast on ITV at 8pm. It was one of the flagship shows in its day and was sold around the world to over 100 countries. It was saucy seaside postcard humour and no-one took offence, even if he was usually chased by a bevy of scantily clad beauties.
  
  Then political correctness took over and it was banned from TV completely. Even re-runs of the shows never appear now as they are deemed unsuitable for adults let alone children, despite the fact that the entire family sat down to watch it together when it was originally shown. He was vilified in the media and his name dropped from all conversation. Anyone would think he was a child murderer the way he was subsequently demonised. It is a disgrace how such harmless fun has now become considered obscene.
  
  This was the start of the end which is now about to fall upon us next May. Political correctness is the entire world gone mad.

  Am resigned now to the shows continuing in this new format for quite a while. So have been posting plenty of videos of the show today to remind us all what these times were once like when we look back at them in the future.

  Have actually posted far more videos than I intended today though as the recording function has been malfunctioning for a week or so now. Most recordings cut out after just a few minutes without giving me the option of whether I want to save it or not. That means there are lots of uneventful videos being saved by  the system not by me.
  
  Lots more videos are being lost too as many recordings stop in less than 2 minutes and these are automatically discarded by the system.  A pity if something interesting happened in that time.

  I think the best format would be something similar to Takeshi's Castle
