Transfer them to the United States and simply ban European members?
- viccuad 5y agoor better, transfer them to Europe and simply ban UK.
- throwaway3699 5y agoThere is a good chance a significant portion of those forums have UK members. You can't just hollow out a community like that and expect it to survive.
- brokenmachine 5y agoA tickbox asking, "If you are in the UK you cannot access this site, are you in the UK?"
- d110af5ccf 5y agoIf it really came to this, transfer ownership wholesale to someone who resides outside of both the UK and the EU and who isn't worried about risking UK legal ire. That way none of the current members need to be banned. (I hear Seychelles is a good jurisdiction for such things.) Of course, the UK government might attempt to filter the website. But if SciHub is anything to go by then that might not be very effective.
