How will they find and block porn sites?

The BBFC has set up a website for its age verification roles. If websites don't have age verification systems in place the BBFC can take enforcement action against them. The body says it will start checking websites for age checking processes when the law begins and will check the biggest websites first – based on the number of visitors they receive – and then work towards smaller websites.
If commercial pornographic websites don't have age verification in place the BBFC has a number of options about what it can do. It says: "These requesting ancillary service providers to withdraw services such as advertising, asking payment service providers to withdraw services, and requiring internet service providers and mobile network operators to block access to the non-compliant service."

Good luck with getting to the small ones. How many people are going to have to be employed to do the monitoring?

The government has granted the BBFC powers to tackle websites that refuse to put age checks in place. At the lower end of its powers it will be able to notify providers (including ancillary third-party groups such as social media) that they "withdraw their services".
Other powers include "notifying payment service providers of credit and debit cards and requesting that they withdraw their services" and getting internet service providers to block the website entirely. This last option is likely to be a final resort but the power could disrupt the revenue streams of websites that refuse to apply age verification.

So you can see how toothless they are.
