Please don't do this, there is enough geo-blocking crap going on on the web as it is, it's discriminatory and often inaccurate. This is not international law, so unless you run business in the UK you can just ignore it (and based on your suggestion you are not). Don't punish ordinary people for stuff they have no say in.

I also expect this law will be revised or just fizzle out eventually anyway like previous impractical digital "laws" made in the UK.

The UK has functional extradition treaties with many other countries though. Why take the chance?

Say I run a porn site and a british 14 year old accesses it, and I don't have up these verifications, I just broke the law in the UK and now they can easily extradite me because the US and UK governments are -very- friendly. Seems like a good reason to block UK IP addresses to me...

Wouldn't the double criminality rule protect you, at least as long as the US doesn't pass an equivalent law?

USA wouldn’t even extradite an American who killed a British citizen and fled the scene/country; you really think they’ll hand you over because a teenager saw some tits?

Since 2003, a total of 38 people have been extradited from the US to the UK... This is reserved for the most severe of crimes, you really think they are going to use it because a site didn't put up an age verification banner?

I mean shit, if this is the level of crime that entails extradition the airlines are going to be rich.

Absolutely. Not the only service but the following link will give you a rundown on geolocation based blocking: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/Develope...

Easiest way is if you're using a CDN, they usually have features like this. Otherwise, yu need some server-side redirect or JS
