Isn’t compliance just as easy as asking where the visitor is from (or more specifically if they are from or in the UK), perhaps even just once per IP they visit the site from? Yes, they may lie, but that’s their problem not the site operator’s.

There's no sign that Ofcom wouldn't want to treat user lies as the site's problem. I suspect they would.
IDK but I'm more concerned with the principle that a foreign government is claiming to have jurisdiction far beyond its borders, especially on a matter which is considered a fundamental human right in the United States.
