    Isn't it people in the UK that go to a US company and do business there?

      Not with the internet. 4chan uses a payment processor that allows UK residents to pay with UK currency.

    Maybe UK payments processors should bar purchases of 4chan passes then.

      They will definitely do that soon if 4chan doesn’t respond to the Ofcom’s demands.
