I mean you can just ban all UK IPs and be done with it.

Its clearly not a sensible law, and blocking users will send a clear message to them that they should complains about it.

According to the article, you'd still need to document the technical process you use to ban the IPs, and also the business processes you haven in place to govern the technical process. That all has to be sent in to the British government with a filing fee, and it's unclear whether even that is enough to appease their regulators or not.

Realistically, are they going to complain? I don’t ever remember a mass revolt over US websites blocking EU users because of GDPR.

The GDPR is a way way more realistic law, there is no comparison here.

Also the EU is a way bigger user base than the UK, and being complaint with the GDPR is actually possible without needing to pay anyone anything.

I think the affect of this law is going to be way bigger than the GDPR.
