Well the article says: To ensure its success, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) says that online services must also adopt "robust" age-verification systems.

My guess is they'll ask for a valid credit card before allowing users to access the interface for likes and such. Which, IMO anyway, means many less people will be liking things in the UK, not just under-18's. Then some clever kid will find a way to get around it and before you know it the only people liking anything will be kids under 18.
