    USians are surprised that they must follow the foreign law if they do business (generate income) outside of the USA.

    And the guy writing this blog is a fucking utter idiot.

        It is not a great piece of legislation but the statements from 4chan are hysterical 😂

      You are extremely wrong and will inevitably have your face rubbed in that fact when the UK fails to do anything to/about 4chan

        It is quite simple really - 4chan will either pay and comply or be blocked in the UK, lose all the revenue from UK traffic and be constantly on guard where their financial assets are as these will be seized if handled by UK bank.

          4chan will pay nothing, the UK has no power to seize any assets 4chan has, any revenue they lose will be negligible and temporary

            You USians are funny, you really believe you are exceptional and your shitty companies are above the law.

            EU and EU countries proved you wrong multiple times when they fined your big tech. This time it will be no different.

              Lol @ “you think you’re exceptional” from a country literally in the middle of trying to enforce their laws on others, delusional

                No, sweetie. USians are shocked to find out laws apply to them. Difficult concept, I know.

                  UK laws matter internationally exactly as much as the UK does, which is to say nowhere near enough for this lol
