I'm not one hundred percent sure, but aren't the UK laws only prohibitive of content produced in the UK? Meaning that you can watch stuff as long as it's made in other countries. That's how I remember the wording of the law, anyway...

No, it's possession that's criminalised[1].

No. And the Tories had a manifesto commitment to censoring content from other countries that would breach the obscene publications act.

That kind of question is one reason why it would be good to have some clarification on this issue. You aren't a resident of the UK, but if Reddit intends to adhere to the UK's laws in addition to the USA's, you should know that so you can familiarize yourself with the necessary specifics.
