About Age Verification Laws in the UK:
There is currently a campaign underway urging people to "accept it".
However, if your website is not based in the UK and you are not a UK citizen yourself, you do not have to accept it.
No country — Not Russia, the USA, China, and even the UK — rules the world. Therefore, no single country can make laws that apply to the entire planet and all of its 9 billion inhabitants.
That does not, however, prevent individual sovereign nations from enacting stupid laws and falsely claiming that they apply to everyone in the world. But the reality is that no country has comprehensive legal jurisdiction over the entire planet.
