@Jamie Jones: "Do you think they wouldn't be worried to lose the UK market?"

I think anyone toying with the idea of censorship (because that's where this ends up, blocking sites that don't comply) puts themselves in a rather precarious position. It's also a bit daft, such laws are easily circumvented via VPNs, so will these be the next thing under scrutiny? We have challenges to https and encryption, now censorship, and potentially issues with VPNs,.... these are massive privacy issues and the tip of the iceberg. I think Javid should be concerned about losing his job.
