You make a law, I decide to break it. What consequences are you capable of delivering to me? How are you to enforce this law? If I was in your country, you could send police to arrest me. I'm not in your country. If the law in question is hosting illegal content, and my server was in your country, you could send a police officer to the building that hosts the server, and physically unplug the thing. Or replace the running web application with a landing page that looks like pic related. But my website isn't hosted in your country. And if you send someone over here to try and enforce your law, I can just shoot you for breaking and entering because you don't have jurisdiction here.

Now occasionally, there are cases where you can have police in one country arrest a person, and have them sent to another country for prosecution. This is called extradition, and it usually happens when you have fugitives who flee a country, or who otherwise plot a crime that goes across national boundaries. The US has extradition treaties with a lot of countries, and that includes the UK. But the key thing about our extradition treaties is that they use a "dual criminality" doctrine. In other words, in order for us to send someone over to the UK, it has to also be illegal in the US.

Which brings me to your "soon to be US law too" thing. It ain't US law yet. And the thing you forget about Congress is that they can never agree on fucking anything. Few years back, we had a bill in Congress about banning child-like sex dolls. Went nowhere. You can still buy 'em today. Make no mistake, we'll kill these bills and laugh all the way to the bank as your governments are powerless to stop American businesses. "Hurr, we'll just block you".
