How should small social network sites, forums or any sites that post user-generatrd content etc who can't afford to do age verification respond to this law? Block all requests from UK IPs?

We are building a niche social network and don't want to be in the cross-hairs.

Is anyone in a similar position? How's your company dealing with this?

Edit: apart from cost, storing user IDs etc goes against our goal of building a private social network. We would like to retain least amount info

Focus on building and don't worry about being in regulatory crosshairs until you're actually in their crosshairs.

The less you know about this stuff the better.

If you are building competing service and your competition has links to government, you will be one brown envelope away from being crushed.

These regulations are meant to serve big corporations and protect their monopoly.
