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.

They'll never control the hacker known as 4chan

The UK should just block sites that don't comply. They have no business trying to fine US websites.

People should fight for their rights and free speech and make pressure on the gouvernement. Blocking is isolationism.

Extort, you mean. The law threatens them with abduction and being held in captivity.

It's a process. They need to issue the fine first to give them a chance to pay rather than jumping to blocking it. If they continue to refuse to pay that's where it'll go.

You don't want to be locked in a small cell with 4chan for two years.
