  4chan has not disabled accepting payments from UK residents through their Coinbase portal. Therefore they are allowing UK residents to pay them.

  4chan is not geo blocking UK visitors in their Cloudflare portal, so they are allowing UK residents to visit their site.

  4chan wants all the benefits of UK business without obeying their laws.

    4chan isn't in the UK and has no reason to figure out what laws apply there.

    When you made this post, did you first check which countries your post ended up in?
