Block UK access now just in case.

It's clear to me, it's a huge risk for any company to allow access to UK visitors at this stage. All companies should be blocking all UK visitors. It's just too much risk for them to take.

The fault is obviously an incompetent and authoritarian UK government, but that's what the UK overlords have agreed.

shouldn't it be the other way round? if the UK doesn't like something a non-UK company is doing it should be them that go through the trouble of blocking it.

If I have a website I'm pretty sure I'm bound to break some random country's law without knowing

Answering my own question, I guess it's exceptionalism of the powerful countries where they can just bully you into following their law

They're clearly working up to this; it's what happened with Pirate Bay, etc.
