I don’t know the laws for “network neutrality” in UK. I know that ISPs in USA do have the power and legal authority to filter and block connections to whatever they want. I mean Google/Facebook/Alphabet/Youtube bans or restricts services for locations at the request of governments all over the globe. It’s really not that difficult, even Canada’s new “YouTube Canadian promotion law” or w/e the official title is, is filtering foreign content.

So what will they do? they’ll just remove access to those platforms for UK citizens? VPN stocks rising.

I mean, that comment post and the article are pretty different. I need to read the actual legislation before I could agree or disagree.
