I don’t want to argue, I just want to know. You feel it’s always been like that. And you feel that way because that’s been your experience with Amazon. Would you agree to that summary?

No, I had the same experience with every site that sell something. I cannot buy online a gun from San Marino from Italy. But I agree that not everyone respect that, for example from Aliexpress I bet I could buy something illegal in Italy (a laser over a given power for example) and face no consequences, but that because it is not really easy to persecute someone in China.

Technically speaking, you should restrict contents that is not legal in a country. I fully understand that it is way more difficult than not selling something, in the end if you sell something you have an address while with a website you simply have an IP address that could not be the real one (think VPN).
So yes, in this specific case 4chan is the asshole of the situation: it they want that their site to be visible from UK they should respect the UK laws, even if, as I said, the law is beyond stupid.
