It wasn't clear to me from the article whether this applied to UK citizens or citizens working in the UK under a visa? Maybe someone can clarify or point out where I missed this clarification.
I'd also like to point out that, while this is probably boneheaded, many countries have asinine visa rules.
Take Canada:

Or the UK:
You aren't permitted to be there on a student visa and also make money from YouTube or other similar sites. Though anything that reduces "influencers" is a net good so I'm not actually complaining about this, but mainstream viewpoints find this jarring.
