And the UK... each time it delivers there.
- wat10000 8mo agoI disagree. It's no different from selling to a foreign buyer by sending the product in the mail. You're not doing business in their country, and it's the buyer's responsibility to adhere to their local laws about imports, not yours.
- richwater 8mo agoThe UK can block whatever they want if they'd like to become an authoritarian firewall state. But they have no legal basis to fine 4chan.
- 369548684892826 8mo agoSurely they do have the legal basis, that's how the fine got issued. What they're missing is any way to enforce it.
- philipallstar 8mo agoWhat legal basis?
- chrisjj 8mo agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Safety_Act_2023 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Safety_Act_2023 The Online Safety Act 2023[1][2][3] (OSA) (c. 50) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom to regulate online content. It was passed on 26 October 2023 and gives the relevant secretary of state the power to designate, suppress, and record a wide range of online content that they deem illegal or harmful to children.[4][5]
- vorpalhex 8mo ago4Chan has blocked the entire UK IP range. They do not host any infrastructure there. They are bound by UK law exactly as much as they are bound by Venutian or Mars law.
- akersten 8mo ago> 4Chan has blocked the entire UK IP range. And honestly this is more than they really should even have to do. I think it does go above their obligation. They're doing Offcom a favor here, they don't even have to figure out how to block it themselves.
- 1317 8mo ago> 4Chan has blocked the entire UK IP range this isn't true
- JonChesterfield 8mo agoNope. A direct connection from residential British Telecom line is fine.
- anigbrowl 8mo agoDon't give up your day job.
- chrisjj 8mo agoToo late. I did that years ago!
