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.

    The population of internet users is tiny compared to the total population of internet users in the Western world.

    Nothing great or significant is lost.

      It’s the 4th largest country of origin for 4chan from what I can find. It doesn’t sound like you’re actually responding to what I said is being missed. Guess you don’t want to.

        I just dint think any of it matters. UK is a big market for Internet users… Yes, like any other developed country.

        It is only the 4th largest country for 4chan… Which isn’t even in the top 3.

        The UK not having access to 4chan is of no consequence, and the kinds of people that still hang out there would probably know there way around a VPN.

        There is no further thing that’s worth addressing.
