4chan fine may test if US will intervene to block UK’s Online Safety Act.

If 4chan continues to ignore Ofcom, the forum could be blocked in the UK. And 4chan could face even bigger fines totaling about $23 million or 10 percent of 4chan’s worldwide turnover, whichever is higher. 4chan also faces potential arrest and/or “imprisonment for a term of up to two years,” the lawsuit said.

    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, at least in the UK.
