If Ofcom issue a fine but there is no-one in the UK jurisdiction to impose it upon, is it really a fine or just an empty message?

The “wild-west internet comity showdown” approaches at speed.

It’s incredible how much money, effort, & reputation Ofcom is expending to prevent people who don’t want to use a service from being able to access it, whilst remaining practically incapable of stopping those who do. It’s almost as if they were just virtue signalling.

4chan's constitutional rights remain completely unaffected by this foreign e-mail.

4chan will obey UK censorship laws when pigs fly.

In the meantime, there's litigation pending in DC. Ofcom hasn't yet answered. We'll see Ofcom in court. https://t.co/i50rOqMbc3
