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.

And they think 4chan ever complied with anything. How adorable!

They do though, 4chan complies with US laws and regulations. They regularly hand over logs to various US agencies.

The thing is, an indeterminable amount of users (and admins!) are feds, so despite giving the appearance of lawlessness, it’s actually fully compliant!

I wonder if Ofcom's true goal is banning 4chan from the UK and if this is a just required part of the legal process for a ban...
