Investigation into 4chan and its compliance with duties to protect its users from illegal content

We are initiating an investigation to determine whether the online discussion board 4chan has failed—or is currently failing—to comply with its obligations under the Online Safety Act 2023.

This should be fun to watch unfold.
I wonder when Ofcoms website will go down.

I didn't even know 4chan was still going lol

Quote from Reddit..

"Trying to poke 4chan and 4chan-like image boards in general is never a good idea. They've got their little crack den, and it doesn't really spill out into other neighbourhoods anymore, so it's best to let them fester in their own faeces than set the crack den on fire, because all that will do is make them go cuckoo other people's houses and turn them into crack dens also, like some sort of demented crack hydra."

I am fully invested in seeing how this pans out.

4Chan playing capture the flag with an increasingly enraged Shia Lebouff is one of the funniest things I've ever seen tbh.

Isn't that when 4chan found it by the stars in the sky etc?
Autism can be a wonderful thing.

They’ll be a lot of neckbeards in a lot of basements waking up right now believing that this is their time to shine.

All our **** ing useless government seem to be doing is to encourage everyone to use a VPN, and therefore negating the purpose of their policy in the first place.
What a wild time to be alive.

How did that Torrent site block work out in the end though?
I remember there being a bazillion piratebay mirrors.

There are, and couldn’t be easier to use.

E.g. it is illegal for a UK citizen to access a blacklisted website

Good luck the govt policing that.
All that happened when DL’ing from TPB was a snotty email from my ISP telling me I’m a very naughty boy and not to do it again.
