The Internet Watch Foundation can't tell anyone to do anything. It's just a private company based in Cambridge:
Company No. 03426366
Status: Active
Date of Incorporation: 29/08/1997
Some organisations ( fewer than 100 ) have entered into voluntary commercial contracts with the IWF that oblige them to self-implement the list provided by the IWF.

They're "voluntary" in the sense that the Government told them to voluntarily filter internet access according to the IWF list, or the Government would pass a law forcing them to do so and it'd be a lot worse for them than just playing along.
