I’m curious what the actual ramifications would be. The UK doesn’t exactly have a great firewall. Even if they did, the actual great firewall is only so effective. I’m guessing the UK would start pressing the payment processors against Reddit for their paid services. I don’t know if that would make enough of a dent in their revenue to make them think twice or not.
If they have any UK offices, those would have to close for sure. They’d effectively have to be “accessible” in the UK but not “operating” in the UK.
Host server -> ignore law -> eventually get shutdown -> host new server -> ignore law
Its torrent sites all over again

Big corps like reddit and pornhub will likely not lower themselves to the likes of pirate bay. Not my opinion, only an assumption.
