Ofcom — driven by the letter of British law that they are bound to follow, but still Ofcom — are quietly making Britain look (a) very silly and (b) as if we haven’t yet shucked-off the Americ…
How much money do you think UK users are worth to 4chan? And how much do you think the free international publicity for telling the UK government to fuck off might be worth? I would be surprised if they cave to this nonsense.
And for the same reason I cant imagine the government would have any problems or issues blocking them altogether. Its not like there’d be an outpouring of support, I imagine you could ask any 10 people on the street if any of them know what 4chan is and you’d draw a blank. Maybe 1 in 20 will know its for dank memes.
4chan will pay nothing, the UK has no power to seize any assets 4chan has, any revenue they lose will be negligible and temporary
So are you saying the UK government doesn’t have the power to block 4chan in the UK?
Interesting.

You USians are funny, you really believe you are exceptional and your shitty companies are above the law.
EU and EU countries proved you wrong multiple times when they fined your big tech. This time it will be no different.
Lol @ “you think you’re exceptional” from a country literally in the middle of trying to enforce their laws on others, delusional
No, sweetie. USians are shocked to find out laws apply to them. Difficult concept, I know.
UK laws matter internationally exactly as much as the UK does, which is to say nowhere near enough for this lol
You REALLY don’t know what you are talking about, do you?
