From what I understand the way this is currently shaking out, is that it largely won't impact marketplace sites as credit cards can be used as a form of age verification. You might have to create an account and associate a credit card before you're able to browse which would be an awful user experience... For other sites though, if the this passes into law I suspect it will have a much more intense cooling effect on the availability and access to sites. For the unpaid service sites I run, I'm certainly not going to pay for identity verification or allow that garbage on my sites. I'm much more likely to hide or disable any user generated content, or just serve a static page to users in the UK saying the site isn't available in your region. They're really doubling down on removing themselves from the world community...
