Ofcom to fine 4Chan

[Gray2233]

There are more on that channel if your humour bar is as low as mine.

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

Annoyingly, I got it from @mrk

No idea why I do it, must be because I'm such a curious impressionable youngster.

He's a confirmed Redditor so that explains it! Just don't start using 'vibes' in every sentence and we can move past this one.

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.

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

Stars, plane routes, a few other methods like background noise and local wildlife.

Absolutely brilliant stuff.

Something about frogs too, they isolated a frog from the ambient sounds and then identified the frog and where it's from. Decentralized spackers, bloody great.

As much as I agree with the premise of the online safety stuff and what the government are trying to achieve.. they’ve picked the wrong fight, I’ll be keeping the popcorn ready for the inevitable showdown.

 

[JonRGV250]

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

Making it look like they are doing something. Knowing dame well they cant do anything.

But what are the accusing 4chan of?

Look, I'm gonna level wit ya. I thought it was you. You said it wasn't. I then searched your posts, and couldn't find anything, until:

So, whilst it's tenuous, it's still enough for me to shirk this one and blame you anyway

 

[Nasher]

This is going to get entertaining.

Ofcom are probably going to use up all their budget chasing this one lol

But what are the accusing 4chan of?

It says in the link of the first post:

• Failure to respond to a statutory information request;
• Failure to complete and keep a record of a suitable and sufficient illegal content risk assessment; and
• Non-compliance with the safety duties about illegal content.

So essentially a company from another country isn't following a law they aren't required to follow.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Although there may be some teeth to it if they're going after them in the US courts

 

[sidimmu]

Oh god, let's go after the biggest trolls on the internet, that'll go well.

 

[Cromulent]

Well this will be interesting to watch while I can't sleep.
