    You can choose not to pay the fine, or block them. If you do neither the UK will eventually block you. It works on the same basis that GDPR does, you are serving and handling data on UK citizens, they have rights that the UK gov is protecting (but in this case it’s apparently the right to not accidentally see a boob or view personal health content).

      So it sounds like they can’t really enforce the fine, but they can restrict me from the region for noncompliance. Blocking me seems well within their rights, I suppose. This whole hypothetical was based on the idea I don’t depend on their market at all, so it’s not like it’d harm me.
