If Ofcom want to stop UK people visiting a non-UK website, they need to stop the UK people, not tell the non-UK website to work to prevent the UK hordes
This should be obvious, no?
It’s how we deal with football hooligans:
Football (Offences and Disorder) Act 1999 (Notes)
…The measures proposed would provide recourse to the law to prevent a range of offenders from attending matches in this country and travelling to and attending designated matches abroad.
One could try to argue “Yes but we have regulations to force football teams and stadia to stop hooligan violence…” — and yes we do, but that regulation applies only to the UK; the foreign teams & stadia have their own laws.
Maybe they’re looking for a way to avoid painting all Britons as potential Internet hooligans?
