Like many other people here, I'm wondering what we'll end up having to do at work do deal with this. We don't have the resources to put a full time person on this, and the UK's not a huge market.

For unrelated reasons, we already have to implement geoblocking, and we're also intentionally VPN friendly. I suspect most services are that way, so the easy way out is to add "UK" to the same list as North Korea and Iran.

Anyway, if enough services implement this that way, I'd expect the UK to start repealing laws like this (or to start seeing China-level adoption of VPN services). That limits the blast radius to services actually based in the UK. Those are already dropping like flies, sadly.

I hope the rest of the international tech community applies this sort of pressure. Strength in numbers is about all we have left these days.

I don't know actual numbers, but I gave up using VPN by default because in my experience they definitely are not.

You'll likely end up paying someone else to do it for you.
