So we all know...

....this is going to be pointless anyway as everyone will start using VPNs. The question is, the AgeID is for UK only right? So will the sites redirect if you come from a different country? I would of thought so otherwise it will kill their business. Again, VPN will make it pointless.

The other question would be sites that just link to videos that are hosting on other sites not run by them. Will they be required to use AgeID? If so, will Google search also be forced to use AgeID when someone does a search for naughty pictures and sees all the thumbnails? If Google can claim "We don't need AgeID as we don't host the material" then all the other sites that just link will be able to do the same.
