Step towards? This is state-wide censorship.
But isn't the truth that it is already implemented in UK ISP's DNS offerings anyway, and that this is just extending the filter so you can't bypass it by changing to a different DNS server?
This should be a textbook case on how to achieve censorship. Start by having it "optional", but not an option a user opts into explicitly, just implicitly in a way they don't understand (by "choosing" their ISP).
Then when 99% of people are already covered, roll it out in a compulsory way across everywhere because "This won't affect most people, just a small number of people".
No debate needed.
