“Reddit has stressed that this system is only to verify users' age, and it has no interest in your identity. Lee further stated that Persona won't know what subreddits you visit, and has promised it won't keep users' uploaded images more than seven days.”

Press X to doubt.

Under the new UK law, lemmynsfw would also need to have some kind of age verification for UK users.

Just curious, how would this happen in practice? As I understand lemmy instances are defederated across the globe. Who would they send their demands to? Also there is already some nsfw content in lemmy, are those expected to respond now in some way?

Maybe they'll just make the Fediverse illegal in the UK. Or all non-corporate sites that can't afford to pay a company like Persona.
