Just more work for soliticitors, as those with money will seek to ensure that anything they don't like is taken down.

What happens with content hosted outside of UK jurisdiction?

I think for the recent wave of privacy issues, just better handling and firmer action would be enough. Otherwise we will have a costly service that is swamped by 30 somethings trying to get old material taken down from old social networking sites, that is now considered embarrassing.
