Just a few months ago games built by US-based developers, sold on US-based platform with payments processors also US-based were censored by actions of Australian christian activist group.

Simply by sending some threating letters to payment processor management. It was done by few hundred fanatics who want to censor what content everyone is allowed to access.

Since this is possible, there not enough resistance and UK government have much more resources we'll all have to live with this.



Im not sure how they can enforce this?


Blackmail. No actual jurisdiction over companies or management needed if you can just threaten them something bad happen to them.
