This won't work at all, children will begin finding even more shady corners of the internet to get around blocks & I doubt any enforcement action will actually impact the big players, this is just killing off small British websites. Foreign websites that ofcom has already tried going after have pretty much told them to piss off. Also a massive data breach waiting to happen.
