It's a big loss for free speech no doubt but it's probably for the best for the brit /pol/ incels to not have to see such negativity all the time
>No, 4chan is not currently banned in the UK. However, the UK's media regulator, Ofcom, is investigating potential breaches of online safety laws on 4chan. These investigations are part of a broader effort to enforce the Online Safety Act, which was passed in 2023. The Act sets tougher standards for platforms to tackle illegal content, especially concerning child protection. Ofcom is looking into whether 4chan has failed to put in place appropriate measures to protect users from illegal content and to respond to information requests. They are also assessing whether 4chan kept proper risk assessment records.
>The investigations were launched in response to complaints about potential illegal content on 4chan and the sharing of child sexual abuse material on file-sharing services. 4chan's anonymous nature, coupled with the potential for radical content, has made it a focus of concern for online safety. The platform is known for hosting content that can be sexist, homophobic, and white supremacist, and has been linked to incel culture and radicalization.
