That is, I believe, a British law that they're following for users that appear to be in the UK. Not like they're going to just disregard the law.

Yeah, the Online Safety Act 2023.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Safety_Act_2023

The Online Safety Act 2023[1][2][3] (c. 50) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom to regulate online content. Designed to protect children and adults online, it passed on 26 October 2023 and gives the relevant Secretary of State the power, subject to parliamentary approval, to designate and suppress or record a wide range of online content that is illegal or deemed "harmful" to children.[4][5]

The act creates a new duty of care for online platforms, requiring them to take action against illegal content, or legal content that could be "harmful" to children where children are likely to access it. Platforms failing this duty would be liable to fines of up to £18 million or 10% of their annual turnover, whichever is higher. It also empowers Ofcom to block access to particular websites.

So that's what they'll be aiming to do.

Some websites and apps stated they would introduce age verification for users in response to a 25 July 2025 deadline set by Ofcom.[47] These include pornographic websites,[48] but also the social networks Bluesky and Reddit.[49][50]

Probably should be mostly irritated with Parliament.

I expect that using a VPN that terminates in another country will avoid it, though I bet that then you can't do things like buy Reddit Gold, if that's still a thing.
