That will be 20k British Pounds plus 100 tip for every day of no compliance Mr. 4chan.

But 4chan users support gay pride! Why would they do this???
It's okay to be gay!!

>>106873750 (OP)
I still don't understand how this is related to some foreign country's laws. Britain should just filter 4chan like they already did with piratebay etc over 10 years ago.
This smells so fishy.

>allegedly 20K per day
>now down to 100

>>106873773
that's what they will do once 4chan refuses to pay
plus put pressure on every business that deals with 4chan like coinbase (4chan uses this for crypto payments) to drop 4chan
coinbase will drop 4chan because they actually have more important business in the UK than some neet website

>>106873773
countries have many reciprocal laws and laws which can be called on by foreign/outside parties. not everywhere and i would guess the USA 1A trumps everything. i worked for a hong kong company and we had EU GDPR things we had to follow even though the EU had no jurisdiction there were HK regulations which enforced the EU GDPR and made some of it applicable. this was not direct HK GDPR but a reciprocal "EU passed a law and you have responsibilities under X and Y".
ignoring 4chan is american, the UK law does reach farther than the UK border because countries join together to fuck people.

>>106873773
The blue boards should be fine, just do it like 4channel used to do and hide the NSFW boards

>>106873750 (OP)
Reminder this law is weighted in favour of big social media platforms which is where kids are seeing all the harmful content and small platforms like 4chan and regular old forums are suffering because the big guys can bribe/comply their way through all the additional costs and kill all the competition.

>>106873805
>that's what they will do once 4chan refuses to pay
And that's what'll happen. The UK is free to block 4chan if they want, but 4chan isn't a company within UK jurisdiction.

If you think this is bad they are putting kids in front of cameras saying things like "I don't feel safe unless I know who people are on the internet" and pushing the idea that your digital ID should be required for all social media and sites you can post on.

>>106873890
That's true of basically all regulations, and in fact is the actual intended purpose.

Companies without any legal presence in the EU do follow GDPR because of fear they get blocked and lose a potential market. Laws except for very specific stuff like copyright/trademark deals stop being applicable outside the borders(censorship and privacy laws are NOT subject to any international treaties AFAIK).
Even the US has laws asking foreign banks to report activities of US citizens/residents, the only proper answer to that was telling the IRS to fuck off. But losing USD access would mean losing access to international finance. So the feds got to shoehorn their shitty laws outside their borders

>>106873805
But cant you just pay 4chan directly from your own crypto wallet? There are no third party payment processors this way.

Any country can just arbitrarily fine anybody in any country. It’s not going to work, though.
In this case, the fining authority has about as much understanding (and similar ethical framework) to, say, Russia.

>>106875055
yes, therightstuff.biz does this. they automate new wallets per subscription and just send the money to their company wallet. converting the coinshit to real currency is the issue.

>>106873750 (OP)
> please give us a one-time €26,000 fee to continue to operate.

It doesn’t seem like a legitimate authority if you ask me. I’d be using every opportunity to challenge it.
Sometimes in the US even the states fight over things like this, so their pretty good at handling i.

>>106873750 (OP)
why do the jannies of this site think we care about some gay UK bullshit like this?

what a terribly-managed country

>>106873750 (OP)
If I was mootykins, I'd rangeban the UK.
Like google and adbook had when the EU wanted them to have transparency in ad targeting.

>>106875161
That is not comparable.
Google is a DARPA project and therefor mouthpiece of the US government, which is hostile towards Russia.
Fining them an unpayable sum is a way to lock Google out of the Russian market and seizing all their assets in Russia, while not having to go through the legal paperwork to declare them a foreign agent or having to do illegal sanctions.

Meanwhile the UK here... they dont want to block 4chan and there are no assets to seize. They want to apply their law globally.

Why is 4chan okay with showing degenerate porn to children?

>>106875681
paying it forward

>>106875681
Most jannies are trannies.
Grooming children with degenerate porn is what trannies do.

Think about tiktok.

>>106875704
In the worst case they are just as badly of as with the EU, because the EU does the exact same thing.

Idk why butthurt belters do this whole "haha, you are as shit as we are, loool" thing.

>>106875704
what's up with germans?

>>106875663
>they dont want to block 4chan
No, that's probably EXACTLY what they want to do and they'll use 4chan's obvious refusal to pay as an excuse to do it, because their bongistani law obviously does not apply beyond their own country. They cannot enforce anything or collect any fines beyond their own back yard, but they CAN say "see, they were violating our laws and refused to comply with punishment, therefore we have no choice but to ban them."

>>106875734
what's up with russians?

>>106875746
what has Russia to do with censorship laws in the EU and UK?
Is Von der Leyen a Russian plant?

>>106875770
This is in the UK, not in EU. UK is no longer in EU.

>>106875786
then why we talking about >>106875704
?

>>106875770
only russians or russian diaspora say "butthurt belter"

>>106875796
Are you retarded? That literally says the same thing. Do you know what brexit was?

>>106875743
You can enforce a law internationally if the same thing would be illegal in the other country as well. It is how extradition works.
There are US States that require the whole porn blocking ID thing, like Virginia.
So the UK could do something cheeky and go through them.

>>106873750 (OP)
lol

lmao

enforce it

even the payment processors and banks will laugh at you if you try to go through them

>>106875805
Not true, i am Austrian and i say butthurt belter.

And i already did over ten years ago. Because butthurt belters are butthurt about us as well. Poland still demands trillions of reperations, lol.
Butthurt belters are the Mexicans of Europe.

>>106875743
They can force every British ISP to block it, or even set up some China style Great Firewall.

Though I doubt 4chan gets enough British pass paypiggies to care

Brits shouldn’t be allowed to use 4champ, there are too many radical muslims who could use it for propaganda

if a foreign website doesn't comply with their laws, why don't they just tell their domestic ISPs (which they actually do have power over) to blacklist it in their country...?

this sounds like they don't even have the actual authority to censor even in the UK so they're just abusing some kind of loophole in their laws

Soon to access a computer or smartphone, the people of the UK will need:

Digital ID
A letter of consent from a Doctor, a Priest and from the Government

>>106875805
A Russian would never hate butthurt belters as much as i do.
A Russian doesn't have to deal with your fucking refugees everywhere.
A Russian doesn't have to pay you billions of gibs every single year via the EU.
A Russian doesn't have to fear about a butthurt belter gang stealing his car.
A Russian doesn't have to listen to your psychotic rants.

>>106875926

>>106875704
the problem with brexit is they didn't remove all the pro-eu politicians at the same time, so basically they ended up with a bunch of vengeful eu retards in charge who now dedicated their lives to sabotaging the uk and punishing british citizens as much as they can

>>106873890
tale as old as time

>>106875942
So someone who neither has to pay gibs to butthurt belters, nor is a neighbour to those subhumans.

Might as well just glory Mexicans, say that you all are Americans, that the US should get into a Union with Mexico and pay them gibs and glorify how Mexican migrants are so great at doing low skill labour in the US and get butthurt when someone says "spic" and claim that only a Chinese, who wants to destroy American unity, would say spic.

>>106875663
> they dont want to block 4chan
It’s a one time fee, they can continue if they pay it.
It’s just a shake-down. I believe it’s “racketeering” in the U.S. and a crime.

I’d spend my money to bring suits in U.S federal courts as a criminal a action, in addition to any relevant civil suits against ofcom and anybody ekse involved so they will be arrested if they enter the US or fly over US airspace.

Cuz all the brexit grifters fucked off and wouldn't actually take any real responsibility. Expect Farage to bail again when Reform gets majority

>>106876100
>Why do I need to abide a market's laws if I want to participate in it?
Why do you believe 4chan is participating in the UK market? The internet by it's very nature means exposure to the whole world, if the UK has a problem with that they can block 4chan just like other shitholes like China and NK do to enforce their censorship laws. But of course they won't because plebs might actually believe they're not living in liberal democracy™

>>106876142
it was a public referendum you retard

>>106875873
> just like china
That’s a good look for them.
Nobody wants to run any internet tech in that country already.
This makes it even worse.
In fact, local companies are probably so regulated there they can’t operate internet businesses for other reasons already.
This is a way “tax” foreign entities who might comply voluntarily.
Canada tried this too, which ultimately failed under threat of retaliation… I can’t remember what their rationale for taxing all the internet companies in the US was though.

>>106876184
The "vengeful EU retards" you spoke of were also all elected by the public. It's been nearly a decade since Brexshit. There have been multiple opportunities to vote them out. I guess "the public" are just fucking retards who can't be trusted to act in their own self-interest, right? They voted for this current government after all.

>>106875770
censorship and Russia are pretty synonymous, that's why. also the guy's obsessed.

>>106873750 (OP)
support for the OSA has entirely collapsed, I have no doubt 4chan will never have to pay shit

>>106875896
They have got that power, but they need a court order to enforce it. Then ISPs over 20k customers need to add the court-banned sites to their ban lists, which are currently full with torrent sites, sport and film streamers, pirates, and so on. Basically a VPN or a small ISP would bypass this - If there was enough demand, you setup BongFreedums ISP #1, which closes it's subscriber list at 19,999 customers. And BF ISP #2 opens, etc.

hilarious/10. those lawyer fees are going to cost many multiple times more than the fine they're trying to serve. the absolute state of jimmy savile land.

>>106876477
yes anon, the ban lists are full

is that really the best argument you could pull out of your ass?

>>106877050
I'm not 'arguing' anything - if you are the poster I was replying to, I was just informing that, Yes, the UK *does* have the power to ban individual websites and it can and does do so. I just stated how the process works. And I remain unsure as to which part of any of this you are having trouble understanding here, exactly.

>>106876235
>I guess "the public" are just fucking retards who can't be trusted to act in their own self-interest, right?
is this why you want open borders and to surrender your sovereignty to the EU so badly?

"vengeful EU retard" was pretty accurate, damn, you must be SMARTING

>>106876235
Theres also the fact it was a what, 1% difference in the vote?
It should have been the highest possible Brexit given that, but the hardtards started pushing their agenda.

>>106876591
The general approach our current government is taking to anything they don't like is putting their head in the sand and going "la la la la it's for your own good"

Which isn't doing anything for their popularity let me tell you.

>>106878053
>>106878065
he should have written "full of", not "full with". in any case, the blacklist is full of torrent sites.

>>106873875
Its not about NSFW content. Its about tranny and mass migration policy criticism.

>>106878091
wouldn't make a difference, there is no reason to even mention torrent sites if it weren't for the fact he believed the blacklists were full

>>106878111
his post was clearly telling you the government does already have the ability to block sites via the high court, and that there is already a list of sites that must be blocked by ISPs; this list is full of piracy sites. keep picking the scab.

>>106878091
ah thanks.
I was wondering wtf that idiot was babbling about otherwise.

>>106873846
The thing about this is basically if you want to operate in a country or region you have to abide by their laws.
That's why if you're in the EU and try to enter an american news site, most of them won't even load the page so they don't have to comply with the GDPR and stop spying on the users.
Several years ago I was looking for a news article and the only page that loaded something was like the 10th site.

>>106876176

I own a debt of 30k to the British niggers that I have not payed for 10 years. I want to save 4chan and I welcome the Uk to just add those 20k to the 30k I own them. I can even provide my name, address, hell, the IP I am using is a static one and I have made multiple concessions over the years about owning the money and never ever having the intention to pay them back.
Do it UK, just bill me instead of 4chan. I promise to never repay my student loans.

>>106878685
Also bill me like 10000000 per day or something. I want to come to 4chan and brag about owning 6 000 000 to the UK government. I want it to be known that because of me the social wellfare of the UK will go down, millions will die out of hunger... all because of me.

That's like saying you can't control if your physical product will be shipped to some country and sold there because ships exist.
>if the UK has a problem with that they can block 4chan just like other shitholes like China and NK do to enforce their censorship laws. But of course they won't because plebs might actually believe they're not living in liberal democracy™
By that logic there'd never need to be any kind of punishment enacted by the state.

>>106878523
No one forces them to participate in the unfree market of the UK

yeah, neck yourself.

Roundhouse kick bongs into the concrete. Pick them up and judo throw them into traffic. Tie their shoes together and throw them over the power lines.

>>106879885
If they wanted to in the future, they could also try to claim being accessible via VPN also counts, or say it applies to any citizen anywhere in the world, so you can't just block ranges. None of it makes any sense other than ignoring somewhere with no physical presence when you aren't trying to sell something there.

The internet was created by the US.
They should levy usage fees retroactively back it’s inception (with interest) on all users, and the UK government and cut them off by whatever means necessary if the don’t comply while maintaining the fees and compounding interest.

Kind of like the UK’s “TV Tax”

It's not physical technically. It's just literally em waves. If they don't like it they can cut the under sea cables. or ask ISP to region block sites like China. 4chan hasn't blocked China.
