5. They're in talks with visa and mastercard to drop those who aren't complying
IF #4 and #5 are correct and can happen, that means they'll be able to stretch beyond their boarders which is kind of a chilling thought. I don't want to sell porn to kids anymore than the next person here but if the UK is able to control the internet like that... holy shit.

Blacklisting by Google in other countries probably wont happen.
In Canada, Google was ordered by the Canadian Supreme Court to blacklist certain results. Google just hopped across the border to the US and won a ruling in a US court that overturned the Canadian Supreme Court's decision.

As for VISA and Mastercard... I dont see that happening but its remotely possible.
#1, 2 and 3 I agree with.
