Comment on The Ofcom Tea Party: 4Chan Lawyer publishes Ofcom correspondence, British regulator claims “sovereign immunity” to defend itself – and sovereign powers to regulate foreign companies

  It is quite simple really - 4chan will either pay and comply or be blocked in the UK, lose all the revenue from UK traffic and be constantly on guard where their financial assets are as these will be seized if handled by UK bank.

    4chan will pay nothing, the UK has no power to seize any assets 4chan has, any revenue they lose will be negligible and temporary

      You USians are funny, you really believe you are exceptional and your shitty companies are above the law.

      EU and EU countries proved you 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

      So are you saying the UK government doesn’t have the power to block 4chan in the UK?

      Interesting.

        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.
