    4chan will sue the UK trying to hold them responsible for UK law, in US court. Foreign judgement limiting freedom of speech. Seems to be in line with their strategy of not being an UK company so not paying fines: “Your laws don’t apply to us. Hell, they aren’t even constitutional!”.

      Do you think the UK government even considered that? Do you think the Tories, who passed this law, or labour, who are full-throatedly supporting this law, even considered this?

      They didn’t even consider vpns. We literally have a member of the House of lords talking about VPNs as if they were some obscure technology. She literally said “Have your heard of VPN”, one referring to it as if it was some sort of singular service.
