wait 4chan still exists?
(shrug) Fine.
Jurisdictions do matter, everyone knows that.
What it means, though, is that they’ll order 4chan to be blocked by UK ISPs, they’ll stop any UK advertiser or service provider (e.g. credit cards) doing business with them.
Of course, it won’t affect any other country’s use of 4chan. But then neither would have implementing the required features at the UK’s request either.
I mean, I’m no particular fan of this recent bunch of legislation but the rules have always worked this way.
Enjoy losing your UK customers, even if they did want to stay with you.
UK promoting VPN on every corner.
But of an odd stance to take. The fines are legal and legitimate, and the UK and US have treaties to permit the fines of one to be enforced by the other.
Do people go on 4chan without using a vpn? Let it be blocked for some days, site activity will just magically increase in “the EU” and “Canada” instead. They’ll just cave in and lift it.
ISP blocking isn’t really a useful tool, erasing them from the DNS works much better.
Serious (albiet ignorant) question:
Could 4chan set a precedent for US companies if it’s successful in refusing to pay fines?
Example; if other US websites/companies see that there isn’t a realistic threat to not imposing age checks, could they just not or “starve” the UK market with geo-blocking until some ammednment is made?
I would never have expected 4chan to be the good guys for a change.
Good on 4chan for exposing the new law for the joke it is.

Another unintended consequence of this shit legislation which is a complete overrech is that Reddit and “other” sites still require my age verification while I am overseas in jurisdictions where this legislation isn’t applicable. I can only assume companies just CBA differentiating UK users being in the UK or overseas? Either way as I say this is a complete overreach against my rights and needs fixing.
That being said, I am using Mullvad a lot more these days : )… Just erodes my online experience overall because if I am shopping and don’t disable it everything is in swiss francs rather than British pounds..
The fact that so many people in the comments for some reason still think that 4Chan is some kind of awful monster lurking beneath is crazy. It’s literally a forum for all kind’s of topic’s.
Good, Let’s hope more companies will do the same thing with EU age verification.
I’d rather live in a world where 4chan exists than the world where the OSA exists.
It should be blocked, then.
Great. The UK government is so shit I’m rooting for fucking 4chan.
4chan somehow stil being relevant after how many years. it’s either something really good or something really bad when it gets named outside of 4chan itself
remenber when they went offline? what happened to that?
didnt followed, no idea if they ever returned.
I find it more interesting that 4chan has a lawyer!
The UK law is nonsense, but this is not logic I’d actually want to stand in the EU, given it would also protect actual neo-nazis and a variety of other offenses that are illegal here for good reasons
