No, its different, you now have to prevent kids from accessing harmful content, so its worse.
The wank tickets one (it was proposed that you could go and get a single use ticket from the post office if you didn't want to do ID online) was scrapped after it was passed as it was completely unworkable in practice.
Same will happen here, they simply haven't made the sort of money available to even start to bring this in. This is just more performative bollocks for gullible morons from the party that bought you deportation to Rwanda.
If we have to have an evil government, it's lucky that they are also quite incompetent.
