Rumble would be banned too

Yeah, but my point isn’t really that some services, probably including Rumble, won’t care about regulatory action. So the next action, if this continues, would presumably be the British government doing what Russia did, which is mandating that British ISPs set up to block access to government-specified hosts.

Then the VPNs and similar come out, and presumably if it keeps going, again, the UK does what Russia did, which is disallow commercial VPNs from operating in the UK without blocking traffic to said hosts internal to the VPN.

Then the next step is things like VPNs that rely on data harvesting instead of commercial sales, so can’t be pressured by payment processors operating in jurisdictions that don’t care about legal action, Tor, DIY proxies (e.g. get cheap VPS in random place, run SOCKS proxy/VPN), and so on. At some point, the British government stops following up, and someone starts making one-click solutions juuust beyond what enforcement goes after.
