4chan has no infrastructure in the UK. I guess they can make UK ISPs block the site, but I doubt the owner cares, and most people who’d want to access 4chan are probably tech savvy enough to figure out a VPN.

Will just end up with Ofcom forcing ISPs to block access to 4chan from the UK.

Looks like 4Chan is getting blocked then.
Won’t make much difference, since I would assume 4Channers will be some of the most VPN savvy people out there.

Whilst I do agree that 4Chan is a website which should be categorised in a very grey area.
There’s a larger problem and If the UK continues like this, no doubt websites will pull together and pull away from the UK.

4chan is just the start, we need more mainstream sites refusing to bow to the UK government, the more that do this the louder the backlash will get.

I wish other websites would take this approach with our disgusting country, Tell the worthless mildreds at ofcom to shove it up their… Show how unworkable this awful legislation is.

Literally an unenforceable fine. What an embarrassment for the UK especially after Starmer said he wouldn’t inflict his censorship compaign towards the U.S only days prior.

Realistically, what can Ofcom actually do?
