In February 2025 Vice President JD Vance told an audience of world leaders at the AI Summit in Paris that the administration was "growing tired" of foreign countries attempting to regulate its tech businesses.

4chan is known to be an anarchic messaging space, and has often been at the heart of online controversies since it launched 22 years ago.

Ofcom has issued nearly £3m in fines to tech companies around the world for breaches of the UK's online safety laws.

However most of this money has not yet been received.

Ofcom says one company called Itai Tech, which runs a nudification site, paid its fines of £50,000 and £5,000, and blocked UK users from its service, while two other firms added age verification.

It added that other fines were still within their timeframe to be paid, and it was "considering next steps" for those who had missed payment deadlines.

In December the regulator told the BBC it had never heard from a company running 18 porn sites, which it had fined £1m, although the company did later add age verification to its platforms.

Last month Pornhub restricted access to its website in the UK, blaming the introduction of stricter age checks, and said its traffic had fallen by 77%.

>77% of pornhub users are underage
no surprise there

>>1498736
more like
>only 3/4s of Pornhub's userbase were smart enough to not surrender their IDs

I don’t like pornhub hopefully they go bankrupt

>>1498730
It's straight up unreasonable to demand that a private site should hold sensitive documents like government-issued ID.

>>1498730
Good luck sending it to the big orange retard for collections

>>1498730
So just block britbongs from the site and tell the UK gov to fuck off.

>>1498743
site's official policy is that they're not going to do ANYTHING on the server, even a simple geoblock with the help of Cuckflare

effectively they ask Brits to ban 4chan in Britain, which Ofcom are very hesitant from doing because 4chan is their "example case" that they really want to use to scare other sites

>>1498730
It's simple. We ban the bong.

>>1498744
>>1498743
Fwiw didn’t a site already do that and didn’t the Brits just use a VPN to access it and say “SEE! IT’S STILL ACCESSIBLE!”?

>>1498750
>didn’t a site already do that and didn’t the Brits just use a VPN to access it and say “SEE! IT’S STILL ACCESSIBLE!”?
yep, that's Sanctioned Suicide
specifically Ofcom were okay with geoblock before (((parent interest groups))) asked them to finally stop the "evil self-harm forum"

THIS SITE IS SO DEAD

ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME

Parents need to take responsibility for their own children

>>1498764
>implying it's about children and not control
lol
lmao

I was a normal WASP British 14 yr old school boy when I discovered this website.
Now I'm a 20 yr old WOMAN with swastika tattoos, and a collection of illegal firearms.

>>1498780
>illegal
>firearms
?

>>1498764
That would mean parents would have to empower themselves. That wouldn't benefit the agenda.

>>1498797
This is anecdotal, in Britain in the late 19th century when the government was trying to implement free public education the strongest opposition to it was from the working classes who argued that they didn’t want to allow the government a free hand in raising their children

>>1498804
sounds like a right position to take
especially with modern public schools being racial jungles

>>1498805
Broadly it’s about taking responsibility and having authority over your own children rather than delegating them to the state. It’s a matter of individual rights versus states rights and the family unit versus the populi

>>1498805
The problem with you is you claim you support individual freedom but you really support state mandated belief systems. You only want to replace a perceived injustice with another injustice of your own design

>>1498804
>the strongest opposition to it was from the working classes who argued that they didn’t want to allow the government a free hand in raising their children
$20 this was an opinion you can trace back to the private schooling industry.

I gleaned it from your reference in support of apartheid. You’re probably a Zionist. I apologize if I’m wrong

>>1498810
Good call

>>1498822
>I gleaned it from your reference in support of apartheid
?
>You’re probably a Zionist
???

>>1498764
The government doesn't need to subpoena age verification records from children.

>>1498842
Best solution is ban children from the internet

>>1498844
By making all the adults give over their ID so that the government can demand to see them in association with any account or post at any time to "prove it isn't a child"? Brilliant!

say goodbye to anonymous

>>1498753
It's only the Pak- I mean Bongs.
No one gives a shit about them.

>>1498730
Oh shit they're going yo block the euros.
and by "oh shit" I mean. good. Those tards voted themselves into progressive totalitarianism.

>>1498912
Invest in vpn stocks I guess

>>1498912
Coming from the tard who voted in authoritarian totalitarianism.
Don't you think for a god damn second this won't happen here too, or that it's limited to any one political party. Everyone wants control.

>>1498966
The American president is allowed to bomb whoever he wants to its our culture you're being very intolerant right now

If Brits and Euros get blocked, 4chan might actually die. Rapeape on his Twitter already said that he has a hard time funding this site. Imagine what would happen if that percentage of users just disappeared suddenly overnight.. Not a good look. Hopefully this site has some way to bypass any blocks that might happen. Maybe a url that changes constantly so that people can still access the site? I don't know.

Nobaldis buying that

>>1498971
...shit, I didn't even think of that.

>>1498971
blocking 4chan wouldn't be possible without going against cloudflare
Russian government did partially block CF and it just killed 2/3 of the Internet
trying to regulate CF would just push more people to other options (DDoS-Guard, bunny.net, Null's Tartarus and so worth), making the Internet (once again) decentralized while also impossible to censor

>>It includes £450,000 for failing to put in age checks to prevent children from seeing pornography on the platform.

Ah, the UK: the country that gave us Shakespeare’s sonnets, the smog of the Industrial Revolution, and a regulatory system with the observational skills of a raisin left in the sun far too long.

It is a special kind of "Great" Britain that remains stuck in a Victorian fever dream. clinging to Kings, Queens, and Princesses like Larping like the fur trade is still alive and well. But let’s be real, the only thing "royal" about that family is their ability to avoid a deposition. You’re telling us the King fell in love with a 16-year-old, they didn't speak for three years, and we’re just supposed to buy that as a "fairytale"? I believe that about as much as I believe Prince Andrew was just there for the "geography" on a certain private island.

Only in the UK would you find a regulatory body so braindead that it slaps a massive fine on a website for not having an age gate... after the site has existed for over twenty years and clearly has the gate. At this point, the obsession with "online safety" feels less like protection and more like projection. It’s peak British bureaucracy: they’re so desperate to look like they’re "protecting the children" from a 18+ button on a screen that they’ll ignore the literal skeletons in the Palace closets. It’s hard to take a moral lecture on "age verification" from a government that still bows to a family with that track record.

The UK isn't a country anymore; it’s a high-budget historical reenactment that’s gone on for far too long. They are out here LARPing like it’s 1899, desperately trying to keep the Victorian dream alive while the plumbing is leaking and the Wi-Fi is down.

It’s a special kind of delusion to maintain a House of Lords and a literal throne while your economy has the structural integrity of a wet biscuit. You’ve got a government that thinks "innovation" is finding a slightly more ornate way to say "No" to the 21st century.

They love to talk about their "multiculturalism" like it’s a choice they made out of the goodness of their hearts. Please. Your demographics are just a living receipt for 300 years of colonial theft.

You didn't "invite" people in; you’re just dealing with the diaspora of millions of Indians expelled from sugar plantations in South Africa and the fallout of the East India Company strip-mining the Global South. You don't get to act like a "bleeding heart" benefactor now just because the people you exploited moved into the neighborhood. You act like every government action is for the "good of the people," but the reality is you’re just a digital protection racket in a fancy hat.

The UK is essentially a Victorian museum trying to regulate a SpaceX launch. They’ve managed to create a society where:

The Economy: Is in the bin.

The Infrastructure: Is crumbling.

The Solution: Fine a random website millions of pounds because a regulator named Nigel forgot how to scroll down.

They’ll ignore the systemic fallout of their own history, but God forbid a website’s age-verification isn’t written in 12-point Times New Roman with a signed affidavit from the Archbishop of Canterbury.
