"The terms of reference explicitly call out the United Kingdom's proposed porn age checks - https://www.zdnet.com/article/uk-to-introduce-porn-age-checks-on-july-15/ - which were set to come into effect by July 15 but were later shelved. "

That link states:

"A 24-page document describing several methods of implementing age-checks has been released last October.  There will be no "enter birthday" forms because anyone can bypass such systems by entering any incorrect date they wish.  Instead, adult websites are free to choose from the various available options, such as using credit cards, passports, driving licences, or mobile phone age-verification technologies to verify UK visitors' ages."

Well now, we can just see that working well, can't we?
